Diagnosis


Luk is a very smart little boy.  Grin.  It's official...the professional said so.

No labels.  No learning challenges.  Luk scores on the high side of normal across the board.  He lost points for speed and averaged out as normal for his age.  Stronger in reading and comprehension than math.  Memory is normal.  His language is above normal. He has no stress, anxiety, worry, fear or anger.  No behavioural issues.

He was tired...he did require more breaks than normal.  However he did the work happily and seriously.  No coaxing required.

The only surprise of the day was that he has no hand strength.  Like he's a 1 from 0 - 100.  They test his arm strength at Children's every six months but never his hands.  The muscles in his whole body are basically 4's with the odd 3 (4 being high and one being very weak).  The prescription is Lego and play dough...so just continuing on as usual.  He will likely need more scribbing as he goes up in grades.

I was dreading the meeting, sad that Eric wasn't there, braced and resigned for bad news.  So I was pleased to hear all good news for a change.

Then we braved the city traffic and celebrated with Mizithra cheese and browned butter sauce at the Spaghetti Factory.  Luk's favorite meal.  Then rush traffic out.  Phew.  Long day.  Tough drive.  I'm not a city girl, I don't know how Victoria people drive in that mess every day.  If there was road construction today, we hit it.
