[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 247084, member: 1233"] I can see why you are so scared. I can imagine how afraid you are (we had a little of this with Wiz, but only a little). Would she go to sleep if you went into her room and read a book or whatever until she fell asleep? would it make her feel comforted at all? I know she doesn't want to be cuddled, but maybe having you in the room would help some? As long as she understands that you will go to your room after she falls asleep. I am sorry she won't let you comfort her physically. I wonder if it is a sensory thing? but that isn't relevant right now. Is there a scent she associates with you, or with safety, or with R? Some scent you could spray in her room or get a sachet of to put next to her bed or in the living room so that it could help comfort her? Often scents can be very comforting, so that might help her to feel safer at night. When you get an appointment, is it at ALL possible to have R go with you? She could go into the waiting room with difficult child so you could talk to the doctor alone, and she could help difficult child absorb what the doctor says and prescribes? Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. [/QUOTE]
