[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 143490"] Thank you so much Dreamer!! Yes what you have said makes TOTAL sense. I am learning so much regarding difficult child's and everything else. A lot just from this everyone here. You are so right in that behaviors and such can be caused from things wrong with the brain like tumors and other abnormalities. I so know what you are talking about being told its your parenting skills. I was getting that all the time from my own parents. Just on Monday when I took difficult child for his SPECT my dad apologized to my son for being hard on him because he now knows that he couldn't control his behavior - he wasn't just being a naughty child. But I always got the "you are not hard enough on him" "you let him get away with too much" nobody ever seemed to understand that no matter what I did, it didn't make a difference. I am so thankful that my sons psychiatrist does the brain SPECT on his patients. From what I understand, he has been doing them for several years. He went to special training so he can read them. He is from what the nurses told me, the only one in our area who does. They told me that he generally requests the test if medication that he feels is it's appropriate. Like when medication doesn't seem to be working that should be. Someone at work today told me that God is looking out for difficult child, because if the test hadn't been approved (which we weren't sure it would be) who knows when we would have found the mass. As far as seizures and stuff. I had no idea. I didn't realize that there were seizures where you didn't see the flailing around and such. I have never known anyone who had any kind of brain tumor. All I know is I NEVER even considered that difficult child's behavior could be related to anything like that. I am glad that at least now we can get to the bottom of all of this. I know we have a road ahead of us and it is incredibly scary, but I have faith and I know that difficult child is in good hands. If there is a tumor, I know that there is a great children's hospital in the same hospital where the CT Scan is being performed. I will keep everyone posted. Christy [/QUOTE]
