Nothing is ever the same from week to week.
Per Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)'s advise, I took V to the eye doctor. I did not ask for the numbers, but his vision is bad enough that he needs to wear glasses everyday, all the time except for free play outside. He is farsighted and the doctor explained that it could most definitly account for his visual-spacial issues, letter recognition, writing, drawing difficulty and probably extreme mental fatigue at the end of school day. Did his vision get that bad in 9 month (since last eye exam) or it flew under the radar? The doctor wants to bet for the second option. The other doctor who had seen V last summer left, so we'll never really know. I want to take him back in 6 or 7 months again, just in case it is indeed deteriorating this fast.
So glasses were ordered and my wallet feels a lot lighter! But I think it is good news. For once, we have an easy fix.
The down: V has to make progress in the next 2 speech session, otherwise insurance will not pay anymore. No progress=no service. It is ridiculous... no matter how you look at it.
Oh well... I obviously can't control everything and everyone. I strangely feel at peace. Am I reaching some kind of zen state of mind? Or just accept my poor condition of little hamster
I just thought I would share! I officially belong to the club of warrior mom gowing a thick skin!
