spartacus if it’s any help, I’m in the same situation with my dh re trying again. But I’ve said I need to get all of the tests and investigations done and all the results back before I can make any decisions. I just don’t think we can make such a big decision about the future of our family without getting all the facts and advice first, if that makes sense. But I can totally see it from my dh's point of view. I mean, why, potentially, go through it all over again?
brummie am so pleased for you! ?
sebs I do a lot of SEN work at school and, FWIW, I think other posters are right when they said you might want to ask the nursery some more questions. It might be worth asking how your ds is doing against the early learning goals (or whatever assessment they use). This will be more useful for the Ed Psych and Speech and Language therapist than nursery’s off the cuff observations. It will also give you all a fair assessment of your ds’ progress across a range of areas, not just if he likes the pig game or not (it really did sound like a stupid game!) Also, has nursery said his behaviour has recently changed? My ds has been particularly unsettled since we lost our dd - I CANNOT get him to cooperate to brush his sodding teeth, for example – and it’s because he knows something upsetting and sad has happened but can’t yet talk about it. So it manifests itself in not cooperating to have his bloody teeth brushed! Yes, it's 'bad' behaviour but it's a phase that will pass (I hope so, anyway!) Finally, if the nursery is connected to the primary school, have the nursery staff got access to the support of the school’s SENCo who may be able to offer advice and next steps for all of you? Maybe worth suggesting it as it will help the school when he eventually makes the transition to them anyway. Keep us all updated. x
freckle sorry, forgot where you were up too with things 
If it’s any consolation, my cycles seem to be all over the fecking place and despite desperately thinking I could get to Coventry next Friday, there is absolutely no sign of ov happening. So, no idea when I’ll get there. Am with you on the weight-loss thing. Have avoided all cakes and biscuits in the staff room since Easter and am well-pleased with myself!
lady so sorry you find yourself here but have fingers crossed your symptoms bode well.
monten I’m sorry you didn’t get the referral you wanted. Hopefully the ACU will look into everything as well anyway?
Waves to the rest of you lovely ladies and sorry for mahoosive post! Am having blood tests for thyroid function and vitamin d deficiency tomorrow at GP's. Am getting very fed up of blood tests now... x
