what else does He have in store for us?

SO....

Damian had a SIPT done in the beginning of this month. It was for my own information and it was also free! I thought I could use this to show his school as well that he could still benefit from occupational therapy.


So she's going to meet me with next week to give me the results and since I am not an O.T. even though before all of this I was actually gathering info. about it at Sac City ( weird huh?), she'll explain the results.


Basically he does have dyspraxia.

"Developmental dyspraxia is an impairment or immaturity of the organization of movement. It is an immaturity in the way that the brain processes information, which results in messages not being properly or fully transmitted. The term dyspraxia comes from the word praxis, which means 'doing, acting'. Dyspraxia affects the planning of what to do and how to do it. It is associated with problems of perception, language and thought."


So this explains the sensory issues, possibly comprehension problems, motor planning, etc.



Now you know me! I stuck my nose in every book I have about this and scoured the google world as well. So I found something else to fight for. I really wanted to shout out " C'mon already!! " But I didn't and I wasn't surprised at the findings. I do what I normally do and I breathe, close my eyes and thank Him for our children who are our blessings and question again why He thinks I am strong enough for all of this.


Just another little hump we need to get over and work through with the help of the school and hopefully therapy outside of school that won't break the bank.


I now see why people go broke paying for all the services the children need. It makes sense now. We're fortunate that Damian isn't as severe as some who need alot of outside services. BUT he still needs alot of support and it starts at home.



So we need to revisit our routines and schedules here at home and implement a system that will work for him and our family as a whole.


So that's the latest with my little ball of fire!

Never a dull day around here.
