[QUOTE="SRL, post: 32157, member: 701"] We've all had those days and even moms with children who don't have our issues have them. An accurate evaluation and diagnosis were the first steps to getting us set on the right path and I'm thrilled you were able to get appointments with both types of specialists so soon. The waiting lists for developmental peds is upwards of one year and usually a minimum of three months in most areas of the country so you are very fortunate. This is the hardest time, I think, waiting for these appointments because by now you're usually pretty sure that something is up, but beyond the everything is uncertain and it's very difficult. Hang in there, lie low in demands, take shortcuts such as paper plates and pizza carryout to make your life easier for a time. Don't even think about discipline right now--just do your best to keep Sammy calm while you sort this out. Don't take him on trips out such as shopping, library programs, etc. unless you have a sure thing (ours was the fenced in local zoo). And be sure and get yourself out of the house alone regularly--even a trip to Walmart at 10pm can seem like a break on days like this. [/QUOTE]
