Dr. Davis

So as per usual at a momentous occasion in history, I left the digital camera at home. Yesterday afternoon Sarah and I went to see Dr. Davis, the pediatric neurologist. He was absolutely phenomenal. Since we haven't had any medical work done relating to Sarah's developmental delays, we are getting the ball rolling with that. I guess that if you are prone to seizures, you are also prone to having developmental delays. Over the course of the next couple of months, we will have Sarah's blood work done, genetic testing, MRI, EEG etc, (and some other stuff that I can't think of off the top of my head but I am way too tired to go out into the van to grab Sarah's medical file and read my notes from yesterday.) As for autism and anything else related to that, Dr. Davis did notice some characteristics, but doesn't want to further evaluate Sarah for autism until he receives all of the medical testing results.

FINALLY, speech and OT called to set up appointments to get started with Sarah. Between Kindermusik classes, piano lessons, Silver Sneakers, and tutoring I only work 7 1/2 hours-8 hours MAX per week. And it's still challenging to find the time to fit Sarah's behavior therapy sessions in. That's not even adding Speech, OT, and special needs preschool to the mix. How do moms that work FULL TIME find the time to fit in all the extra appointments and therapy sessions that having a special needs child entails? I am so open to suggestions.
