My husband and I worked so hard to have children. We looked into fertility treatment. But we didn't feel that it was worth pumping me up with hormones and our chances were slim to none. So we decided on adoption. Two long years later, our dreams came true.
But the poor kid has been through a lot in his 4+ years of life. He has been to numerous doctor's appointments, including with a neurologist. We found out he had mild Cerebral Palsy. So we started him with physical therapy. Then we discovered he had severe speech apraxia, so he started speech therapy. Now we have learned he has some sensory processing disorder issues & ADHD. Things have been horrible lately. He has gotten mean, he's impulsive with what he says & does and doesn't pay attention to a darn thing. My husband & I both feel so alone in dealing with this. And of course, no one sees the boy we live with every day. Yesterday, while at his occupational therapy session, his therapist got a glimpse of that side. Hopefully with OT & dealing with a behavioral pediatrician, we can get things a little back to "normal."
