In 4 weeks from today we fly to LA! I'm getting really excited! What a great adventure we will have! After 2 years of planning and saving it's almost time to go! I feel so much joy!!!
I took Philip, Sarah, and Thomas to the Dr this morning. Sarah had to receive 2 vaccinations. Thomas needed tests run to see if he could take drugs for ADHD. I talked to the Dr about sending Philip to a clinic that runs massive tests to figure out what is really wrong with him. Philip was adopted. We don't know if there was Prenatal Exposure to Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco . He has serious learning problems and speech problems. It's so frustrating for us. He now goes to a school for learning delayed kids. They basically just go super slow in the school. He does not receive occupational therapy even though his hands are super weak. He receives no speech therapy even though his language is majorly delayed. I want to pull my hair out. OK, maybe he was a drug baby... but occupational and speech therapy will still help him! If he has ADHD, maybe drugs will help that? Maybe no one thing is going to fix everything but that does not mean we should not do what we can! But we can not find a Dr willing to think like that. If we don't drive them to do more, they don't. Anyway, my Dr finally said he would allow us to send Philip for more tests. So I hope we can arrange a stay in a clinic that will really dig. We will do all we can to help him get better.
