Hi I'm new here,
My oldest daughter 9 yrs old was born premature at 32wks and I was in severe eclampsia finally ending with severe seizures and an emergency Csect. Also, in 2007 I discovered her AD army father had been molesting her and doing it all via a web cam at night while I worked as a nurse.
She was very delayed due to being premature and we went through the birth to 3 program. This aided her in walking, talking and learning. Over the past 5 years we have struggled through a lot in school and out. Psychological, I can't even begin to explain. Finally, we enrolled her into a very good school which took the actual time to finish her IEP testing. She was diagnosis with ADHD in the summer of 2010. We started a regimen of medication that only resulted in her drastically dropping weight. Our pediatric dr at the time stopped it. Well two weeks ago I met with her school and we discussed their findings. Her iq score came back as a 77. She has the most difficulty in math, staying on task and staying organized. The teachers said she would go to the bathroom and "get lost" and the staff would have to find her. Is this normal? I have always joked that she was ditzy but is this real or a game? I have went a's far a's having the principal call her into her office and sternly explain to her how her education is her job and something she should try her best. I'm awaiting our insurance to look at the IEP to approve her more ADHD Rx therapy. I honestly feel so guilty that bc of my illness during pregnancy and me not finding out about her father is going to leave her completely broken for life. Where do I go and what do I do to make all of this up to her so that my baby girl goes on to be a productive, well rounded and productive woman?
Please tell me there's hope out there..
