Just a quick update, as feeling a bit exhausted from our 3 hour journey back from BIBIC. As most of you know, ds2 (19 mths) has no dx yet, but is globally delayed, so we took him to BIBIC to see whether they could give us any hints and tips.
Well we had a great time at BIBIC - it really was worthwhile .
Dh is a complete convert. Took him there practically kicking and screaming (not joking, we had a huge row in the car down there) and now he's good pointing',
good posting', `good everythinging..... to his hearts content . He is also going hammer and tongs at the Makaton to catch up with me!
If it did nothing else it allowed us to have 3 days pure concentration on ds2 and his needs (and for dh to realize how complex they are), but it was so much more than that....
They were professional, totally supporting, loving....and ds2 was completely at home with them.
The integrated approach is fantastic and really makes you feel like your being listened too - none of that saying the same stuff over and over again. They also obviously have time to read your questionnaires before hand as they refer back time and time again - unlike what seems to happen at our hospital, where you're lucky if they can find your notes let alone read them up front!
The diet stuff was awesome - I'm never drinking coke again, let alone either of my ds's!!
Thanks so much all of you that recommended it - it has given me real focus
