It seems like all we've been doing lately is driving down to Cincinnati Children's Hospital for testing! First they did developmental testing to see if any of his medical incidents had caused any brain damage. During an MRI we discovered that he had a brain cyst. I say "we" because the hospital already knew! They found it when he was 3 years old and had rode the rocking horse down the steps. No one EVER told us. The good news is that it has not grown since he was three! They will continue to keep an eye on it.
Now we are starting testing to see if he is on the Autism Spectrum. Seems to me like if he was, it should have been discovered sooner. Tomorrow we go in for speech evaluation, which is supposedly different from the developmental one they gave him over the summer. He will then go in for the actual autism testing in December for which we will receive the results in May 2014! To me, if their waiting list is that long that we have to wait 5 months for the results, then Cincinnati Children's needs to hire more doctors!
Today, I just heard from Jimmy's teacher that he isn't going from one class to another very well on his own. He is hiding between specials and going back to his IEP class. Just don't know what to do anymore. I think the fact that he won't swallow pills and we are limited to the Daytrana Patch isn't helping. I may have to discuss other options with our doctor.
On a more fun subject, Jimmy has started karate class at Pro Martial Arts. He looks really cute in his uniform. The class is 40 minutes long and he seems to start to lose interest after about 30 minutes.
We did have a little incident over the weekend when he did one of his stances, poop feel out of his pants! Lol! They talked to him about hygiene and all was forgotten.
