FINALLY...

We finally have a diagnosis for our Mikayla! 
She has officially been diagnosed with mixed receptive-expressive language disorder.  Here is a link that explains somewhat about it (describes Mikayla's struggles quite nicely)...

She will begin language based speech therapy.  With the therapy, along with the medication that she has been on for almost a month now (which we have seen no negative side effects, praise Jesus) to help with her focus problems, we should see a lot of progress in school this year!   We are so happy to FINALLY know what is going on and to have a solution.  We can finally get Mikayla the help she needs so that she can have a better outlook in school.  We can't wait to see how she does this year...we are believing that she will excel!

We know that it might be tricky at times and she might have to work harder than other kids, but she will do great.  Thanks for everyone's prayers and please keep them up because she/we still need them!
