I hope its OK to join you guys?
I am about to embark on the journey to find a diagnosis for Riley. We are going to see an OT who specialises in sensory problems who has been recc. by a number of people including the Early intervention teacher at school and Christy!
I am in some ways relieved to think that there is a reason for his behaviour and that it isn't because he is spoilt and badly behaved but teary and sad that he isn't perfect/normal all of those words which we think our children "should" be. I know he is still my beautiful little man but its taking a bit of time for me to process.
I hope that makes sense and I don't seem like a horrible person.
This is the bestest place to come in and ask those questions about those funny little quirks, meltdowns or fears. I get far more out of this thread than my OT most days!
of course you are welcome!!! I have used this thread to feel normal on most days... and as our two seem to act normal around each other its good to know we have the support when we aren't together.
For those that aren't on my facebook... Matilda is having surgery tomorrow. She's having a GA and collegen injected into her bladder wall. We "should" be home tomorrow night, I'm not holding my breath though...
MrsMac - welcome! It is a hard journey but yes it is nice to have a reason behind the behaviour! The day DS was diagnoised was a fantastic day as now we had something to go with to help him and it meant we weren't in the "bad parents" or "naughty kid" category which is where we were putting ourselves before.
Christy hugs for Matilda tomorrow - hope all goes well. Will be thinking of you
MrsMac- welcome to the nut house were bouncing of the wall's, hitting our selves in the head and crying are all part of the game . Atleast in here we can be each others shoulders on our journey's into the unknown.
Christy ...have been thinking of you guy's all night. that M doesnt have melt downs and it run's smoothly...remember a GA can sometimes give you some normaility .
We've been having wet beds.....and outburst. WHY? because I went to Melbourne saturday without him, and only took M . Yesterday he kept telling me we had to get his school stuff ready for tomorrow (today) cause its monday and then I said no hon...no more school until next year when your grade 2.....to which I got High 5ed . But its still wacked him out. The boysw also got a new cupboard in their room....atleast he took that positively.
off to have a quick shower before the day starts......anyone want to crawl under a rock with me
