Everything just seems to be getting on top of me lately.
Im a sahm since November to a 2 year old I also have a 12 and 10 year old son.
My eldest and youngest are both moderately deaf and wear hearing aids. My eldest was fine was happy to wear them from 2 properly and his speech developed fine. In fact he was quite an early talker.
My youngest refuses to keep his ears in. It's a stress for me and him. His speech is behind. He can respond without them in but words come out wrong for eg munny for mummy. He's been referred for speech therapy. She came the week before last she's met him before at a toddler group for deaf children but was with my husband. She can see his speech has improved since then. In all honesty I didn't like her much. Just the way she spoke to me. She said oh he doesn't follow instructions. She was asking him to brush a toy bunnies hair. I said he does for eg getting wetwipes when asked. She said yes but did u point to them? I was left feeling deflated. She said she would write a report and come back in 2 weeks. Well i wrote down Wednesday (tomorrow) but she phoned and said she was coming today. Its thrown me right out because i like to have the house clean and tidy if i have visitors. Like making sure no stinky nappies in nappy bin cat tray empty front room dusted and vacuumed. I know its stupid but its how my brain works. Ive managed to get it presentable but now im on edge. I said on the phone oh i thoughtit was tomorrow and she just said no is it a problem then. I said no its fine. She wants to bring another woman with her this time who I haven't met before.
Also last week my week my eldest was diagnosed as being on the spectrum. We suspected it but now im worried my youngest is too. My life just seems to be full of worry and appointments. My dh works ft and i don't drive. Next month i have a pediatrician appointment and 2 hearing. I just never seem to get a break from it and worry all the time.
