The doctor assessed her language and motor skills, and Cassidy is well into the 5 year-old range... she's ahead of her peers. I never thought I'd get to say this, but Cassidy isn't just ahead, but far ahead of her peers!! The doctor commented on the intelligence of some of the answers Cassidy provided during the questionnaire... for example, one question was "what does a pencil do?" Cassidy's answer was "trace".
One item of concern is Cassidy's right ear. There's scar tissue in it, which means her ear drum must have ruptured at some point... probably back in the days of consecutive ear infections. I felt bad to know Cassidy has probably lost some hearing in that ear, and vowed once again to push harder for tubes if Campbell needs them.
The only real downer of the appointment was the shots. Cassidy had to have 4 today - three in her legs and one in her arm. She wasn't happy, but seems to have recovered nicely. She made sure Campbell and Daddy saw her bandages and made an appropriate amount of fuss over them. Luckily, she doesn't have to have anymore shots (other than a flu shot) until she turns 9.
