[QUOTE="italiansass, post: 58078, member: 3884"] Joey does see a neurologist regularly and matter of fact I have had him tested for seizures, and he just recently had another MRI. And I don't pity Joey, nor feel sorry for him. Nor for myself. And it's not like I expect him to be like other children, I know he is his own person. And that he is just as special as other kids, if not more becuase of the challenges he is going to have to face. And I know part of my problem is not being consistent with him. But I have been trying to be more consistent, not giving in to his whining, and setting him down and making him sit down until he's done with his temper tantrums. And yes I agree with you, he is attention seeking. And I don't think he wants to hurt himself. But what concerns me with him, is he can't feel pain normally so he could very well do something to hurt himself and him not know it. I have seen him head butt his head so hard that his eyes roll back in his head and he near passes out. So thats what concerns me, but Ive noticed if I'm not focused on him that he doesnt really do the temper tantrums as bad as if I sit there and watch him. So I'm learning to walk away. I do have faith in him, and I have faith in myself as a mother. But its always a concern in the back of my mind, that if theres anything I do wrong, his birth mother, if she ever wanted to try to get him back would use it against me. And I could never stand to lose Joey. This is so much harder, but I love him and I am committed to getting him the life he deserves. [/QUOTE]
