I used to post fairly regularly but I never seem to get time to go on the computer. I have DS, who's 6 and NT, and DD, who's 19 months and has global developmental delay. There's no overall diagnosis but according to our 14 health professionals she has moderate hearing loss (having operation for grommets soon); a squint; hypotonia (a bit floppy); severe speech and language delay; slow weight gain and, currently, a refusal to eat any solids at all save the occasional spoonful of yoghurt, bite of pizza.
I feel as though I've been plunged head-first into a whole new world. So many (dis)appointments, so many clinics, hospital cafes, bus rides that take forever, pages of medical notes. It's very isolating, frustrating and financially draining. And although my RL friends are supportive, none of them really 'get' what it's like to live in SN land. So I'm back! Am looking forward to meeting y'all again--and saying hi to anyone new.
