Christy. I hope that it didn't escalate. You are so amazing with the way you cope with it all.

Tomorrow is supposed to be the start of the assessment process for us. J vomitted when he got to kindy this morning so is home sick today. I'm just hoping he's ok to go to the appointments tomorrow (paed and audiologist) as we really need some answers atm. After posting that some things have improved the other day, I have had to face the reality in the last few days that they really haven't. Toiletting has gone backwards again, and now we are facing a battle with kindy about his nose. And the kindy teacher got MIL on side this morning and now she's trying to tell us we are not doing enough - I am so angry. The issue is that he won't blow his nose when he needs to and the other kids are not wanting to go near him. The teacher thinks the solution is to insist that a doctor give us abs to clear up the nose. I totally disagree. Last time this happened I relented and after 4 weeks took him to the doctor for abs which didn't help at all. I can't give him abs everytime his nose runs FFS and more often than not it won't help anyway. The runny nose isn't the issue anyway - it's the behaviour, which is related to his other behavioural issues which we are getting him assessed for and she knows it. Why can't people understand that not all kids are the same and there isn't always a magic pill.

Did I mention that I am so angry? DH hung up on MIL earlier when she was going on about all the things we are doing wrong so it will be fun picking J up from their place later. I really admire you all for the way you cope with all the challenges in your lives. You are all truly amazing and special people.
