I've always been candid with the struggles our Boogie faces. We've had amazing doctors and therapists along the way and we've seen tremendous progress. He is a happy, loving, carefree little boy and everyone that meets him is just smitten with him. But...I knew there was something wrong. We've known for some time that he has sensory integration disorder as well as oral motor issues and developmental delays. We've been pro-active on getting him the help he needs. But...I just knew there was something more.
Call it a gut feeling, mother's intuition, a spiritual prompting...whatever...but I had it. Nagging at the back of my mind, unwilling to be stifled. I was beginning to feel like the crazy mom that takes their child to the doctor every time they fart the wrong way. I was afraid they would brush me off....but we took him back to the doctor anyway. I had to know if there was something more, something we were missing.
Observations were made, tests were done, and finally....finally....the answers are coming in. There was, or should I say IS, indeed something more. Something we were missing. We've yet to get back all of the lab results but we have a starting point. Some of the results we have gotten back so far have given us a lot of the information we were missing. Hopefully the rest of the results come back by next week. The pieces are starting to come together and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The last 3 weeks have been filled with stress, tears, worry, and more stress. I am beyond ready to move on and move forward.
So now that life is settling down and we're able to get all of our chillins and babies the things they need, we can get back to basics around here!! So let me begin by saying
YOU GUYS ROCK!!
Thanks for all the comments, emails, tweets, and love you've all sent. I can't wait to get back into the swing of posting and catching up with you.

HAPPY MONDAY AMIGOS!!

Coming out- I found your blog somehow through a friend of a friend etc, etc. And I have thought you are so funny! But this post inspired me to come out and formally follow you. My son has been struggling from the day he was born, only you know how this feels to know your child is in some kind of distress but you nor him cannot explain why. Why he is crying (his baby blanket feels like sand paper to him), why it is hard to take a picture of him (flash's are horrible for him)why he is grunting instead of telling you what is wrong (he is so frustrated he can't speak), it is devastating. My son is beautiful and loving and spririted so whenever I tried telling someone about this they always told me I was over reacting and being sensitive. Like you, I was desperate to find answers and none came until he entered kindergarten. I was lucky enough to meet his teacher, a mom to an SPD kid, she became my angel and my sounding board and she directed me in the right direction. Two years later, we have visited many, many doctors and all of them have a different opinion. He has SPD and is very high functioning ASD. I have gone through a range of emotions thinking about his future and his present, I have felt grief and pain for him, my perfect wonderful child. But through my faith, prayer and reading everything I can get my hands on, I am at peace. I will never label him, he is and always will be my Mr. Wyatt.
ReplyDeleteMany thoughts and prayers are coming your way.
Oh honey! I'm just now catching up on blog reading but I am so sorry you're going through this. I hope you get ALL the answers you need to help your precious boy very very soon.
