Sometime Doctors Just P*** Me Off!!

So we went for Katie's testing with what was supposed to be a developmental pediatrician today. This was supposed to take all day. We went there and the Dr. comes out and ask if Katie would be ok in the waiting room by herself. Of coarse not. I told him that wasn't a good idea and that she would be fine in the office with us. He asked me a few questions about her history and family history. (note: Katie was being a brat). Then he gives me paper work and says he will take her into the room next to where I was and try to give her an IQ test. He was gone for a total or five minutes at the most and I could hear him the whole time. He comes back and says he doesn't have any testing that he can do for her. He says she needs tested on an infant level. I inform him that she might be on the infant scale for speech but nothing else. I also tell him that she is very intelligent and that people who don't know her don't understand that because she doesn't talk. I peeked into the room he was testing her in and all that was in there were some papers on the desk and a clock. What kind of testing does he think he is going to do with that. Anyway he confirmed that he thinks she has ADHD and should be on medication for it. I am going to have to think about this for awhile. I left there mad because he acted like my daughter was severely mentally R*******. Obviously he hasn't worked with Downs kids before and does not have patients. Well at least we are on a waiting list for another doctor to be tested.

Why I haven't been blogging

I haven't blogged in a while so I thought I would let everyone know why. Well Brady has been quite the handful. He was going through a period of not behaving at all. It was hard to do the littlest thing like drop papers off at the doctors for Katie's evaluation this month. I spent so much time yelling and wanting to cry that I didn't take the time to realize why he was acting this way.

I have really been working with him and he is really improving with his behavior. I have cut 75% of his sugar out and have been talking to him instead of yelling. I think he was acting like this because for one he ate alot of things with sugar in them and too he wanted attention. He still acts up some but nothing like he was thank god.

Well on to Katie. She has been to two cheerleading competitions so far and has done a great job. She really seems to enjoy this and has made some new friends which is wonderful. We have a few more competitions before summer break and I can't wait.

She is going to a developmental pediatrician on March 27 for a 4 hour evaluation. We are doing this so that I can get someone else's opinion on where she is developmentally and to see if she has ADD.
