Where do we go from here?

Just to give you a little information, I have been going back to school for almost a year now.  I have recently begun my English II class, and she has suggested that we journal every day.  Since I have this blog, I thought "I'll just write a post about what is on my mind, every day."  I really should be doing that anyway -- and I haven't, so I apologize profusely.

So the title of this post is "Where do we go from here?"  Which is a pretty vague question in and of itself if you don't know the meaning behind it.  Yesterday, my precious son of barely 2 years old was diagnosed with Sensory Issues, better known as Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).  The Occupational Therapists that came over to evaluate him yesterday were wonderful, yet vague in the severity of his issues.  Apparently, he is not "OH MY GOD!!!" horrible, but his quirks are enough of a red flag that he qualifies for services.  Fortunately all Early Intervention services in Pennsylvania are covered, so we do not have to pay a dime.  Which is great, because I really don't have a dime to spare.

With that in mind, we come full circle to the title of this post: where do we go from here?  As she was leaving, our services coordinator stated that we'd get a copy of the report that they typed up when they were there, and that she'd call us to set up a planning meeting once she got ahold of the agency that we decided to go with.  And that was it.

Have I ever mentioned that I hate waiting?

Have I ever mentioned that I hate not knowing what's going on?

Well I do.  And it's killing me.


However I am a strong individual -- at least that's what everyone keeps telling me, and I know that everything happens for a reason.  so I will be patient, and love on my son just as much as I always have.  I will give him all of the attention that he requires and then some.  For I do not want him to think that this diagnosis has changed his life ONE IOTA.  Because it hasn't.  To me, he will always be the sweet, compassionate, intelligent, funny, amazing child that he has always been.  Because I love him to the moon and back and no matter what happens, I will always be his champion.
