She is autistic as a lot of you know and really does NOT like going to the doctor, especially a stranger. We went yesterday, were made to wait over an hour, they poked and prodded her up her nose with a scope that went down to her throat. I had to restrain her. It was terrible. Then they tried to do a hearing test which she wanted no part of. Her school wants to make sure there is no hearing loss that could be contributing to her speech delay. So I will have to take her again.
The doc said her adenoids were not large enough to be causing the problems she has, he wants me to take her to the hopital to get her tested for cystic fibrosis. CYSTIC FIBROSIS. I immediately started crying and thought I would vomit. He said it was just to rule it out and then we would move on to a cat scan on my poor 3 1/2 year's old's sinuses. Can you imagine this. My only child, my beautiful daughter Sophie, the reason Big Bird is my silly avatar. The reason I keep coming back to this site even when it gets insane and taken over by troublemakers. I am very angry and find myself taking 1 step forward and two steps back with my kid on a regular basis. Just when we found a great new in-home therapist for her this happens and today she was too sick to even have the therapy. She won't eat and is napping, that's how I have the time right now to type this.
I just needed to vent this because one member said to me in a PM ever so nicely (NOT) "I pray that Sophie has a sane mommie. Work on that". That person gave "offered" permission to post their PM's so there, I did, just one line that crushed me. So I thought that I'd let everyone know that I am sane and taking care of business over here. Just needed to vent because my kid does not deserve this, and frankly neither does my family. I think we've been through enough already.
I know a lot of you have seen pics of my daughter, and for those of you that haven't she is a beautiful blue-eyed girl with lots of brown curls. She is the belle of the ball at her special preschool. She is exceptional. Please say prayers for her because it doesn't work when I do it. Thanks all, Camper
