[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 485082, member: 11791"] Stressed... Its hard to wrap your brain around this stuff sometimes. Somehow, when the problem is invisible, we don't quite get the seriousness... I find it helps to stop and look at the situation through a different filter. How would you feel if she had been in a car accident, and was going to spend months in hospital.? That would mess up her education, too... but there are still ways to make up for it. I've sometimes compared the challenges difficult child faces, to a kid with diabetes... can't see that, either. Needs careful monitoring, life-and-death issues, and all the other stuff that goes with it. But... if the disease gets out control, the kid doesn't cope well with life either... and it can impact education. It will help once you get more info as to what is really going on. Even if labels don't change anything... they do give US and our difficult child something to hang sanity onto... XXX isn't [I]me (or my kid)[/I], its the [I]xxx-diagnosis[/I]. It makes it easier then to fight to get help for the problem... {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
