Diagnosis

I spoke with Kaytlin's psychologist today and she has been given a provisional diagnosis of autism to be re-evaluated at the age of 3. Because children can change so much at this stage they do not want to make it permanent without knowing for sure. I am thankful for at least the provisional to be able to get her some help with SSI and the Medicaid waiver. She is also wanting to see if the occupational therapy will have more of an effect with Kaytlin's sensory disorder. It may be that if we can tackle the sensory then she would be able to learn and retain more.

 

Last night Kaytlin woke up in a screaming fit dazed and confused again. Her speech therapist was curious if her ability to retain and her success would go down once she was no longer sick, and it has. She was put on antibiotics Saturday and Monday started the journey to confusion again. I guess when children are sick they are more relaxed and able to retain more. Go figure that being sick can actually be a good thing in children with disabilities.

 

Well I guess this is all for now. For those that are keeping us in your prayers it is greatly appreciated. I think because we have known of the possibility of this diagnosis we are not shell shocked. No matter what label she has, she is always going to be my little princess with an attitude lol.
