When Prince was 18 months old I knew something wasn't right. At that point he failed 3 hearing tests, had pnemonia and liked weird things. He also didn't do "normal" things for a baby his age. He also never made noise other than crying. I knew in my heart I had to get help. Things quickly got worse.
He would lick the carpet, cold tile floors ANYWHERE, loved his vibrating tooth brush, constantly drooled and put things in his mouth.
With pushing and courage I got him in speech and a couple months later into occupational therapy.
With in 10 months he had the vocabulary of a kid his age. Understandable also! There aren't words that can express how thankful I am.
I had him in OT starting in December. She worked on some things but never his social issues. They always told me to make him like it.
When I got toward the end of my pregnancy I finally had enough. I took him out. For awhile he seemed fine. His quirks would happen every now and then, not to often.
Since Munchkin was born, Princess started school, and daddy is gone he started to slip again. I kept thinking he would snap out of it. Really fighting myself. He's back to his old things. It's really sad.
I called his doctor and they are putting the referral in for him to go to this new place.
I'm hoping it helps. This is hard. I know he can overcome it. I have faith in him.

Children are more resilient, and more brilliant than we give them credit for.
ReplyDeleteI hope this new place gives Prince the tools he needs.
Hang in there! Moms are superheroes, and stuff.
