[QUOTE="therese005us, post: 276179, member: 7416"] Hi there, Well, I've just finished making a 'story book' of her stay with us. She can take it to school and home again, and we'll update it each time she comes. The paediatrician says it is chronic constipation/encopresis and due to this she has lost all nerve endings and sensory. It is her opinion that it will take up to 18 months of positive parenting and consistent routine to come near to fixing. That's my problem really, that she won't get this. I can only do so much during the short spells i have her. Mum said last night, "it's been a great break for me!" I talked to her about continuing the routine, and little things we do, like when the tummy rumbles, tell her it is because it's telling her to go to the bathroom now... mum says she's tried that, but it never works... I talked to her about getting a referral for speech and Occupational Therapist (OT). She said, her speech is fine. I said, okay then. There was a silence, and she said, 'you don't agree with me, do you?' Tactfully, I just said, no, but that's your choice. We have tried to give little cherub different exposures, like quiet time with a talking storybook; all different for her. We don't have T.V., but that has not been a problem for her. She doesn't seem to miss it. Well, you're still up, what's happening in NSW? [/QUOTE]
