Haha. Seriously. A health nurse couldn't think of a single reason for this. That was a first. Good thing she checked because her solution was to delete Kai's file.
It's time for their grade 6 immunization. Which they do at the school. I tried to book them to have it done privately at the clinic and I was told "they always do better when they're away from their Mommy". Well...I've had about enough of being told all about my boys from strangers and instead of blowing up I started laughing, perhaps a little meniacally. Kai will scream, a lot and for a long time and possibly before they even get near him. He's hard to hold down and I'm certain public school staff aren't really allowed to hold the kids down. I emailed the special needs coordinator, perhaps she can arrange for the boys to be in a private room or let us know when to be there to help. I did tell Luk and Eric the funny story about the call. Luk is adamant that he wants to go to the clinic versus the risk of having feelings/tears at school. He is well aware of his medical anxiety.
Tuesday is our loaded day. We went non stop and spent a good chunk of it the in the car dropping and picking up. With not enough time in between to do anything. We did play in Jysk and Winners to kill time. I got matching blue comforters for the boys new beds. 2 for $20. Also a new top for me at Winners. That I don't need. I overdid the day and was coughing non stop by the end. Also included in Tuesday's line up was we were called into the Pediatrician's office to do a mental health check for Luk. I mentioned at Children's spinal cord injury clinic to the occupational therapist (who deals with schools) that Luk was more forgetful than usual and I though his processing delay was longer. Which meant meetings in the hallway and dozens of questions from each appt after that. Lots of opinions. None of them know Luk well enough for the opinions. This carried on for 5 hours. The neurologist was called in and we're doing an mri to rule out big problems. However, when we were called in to see his Pediatrician I knew it was going to be about mental health. Turns out the Urologist of all people wrote to her declaring Luk is depressed and needs meds. Sheesh. Stay in your lane man!! So, after a lengthy appointment and some one on one with Luk she declared him not depressed. Which we knew. We're all clear there is anxiety but she feels as we do that it's all wrapped around medical. So, no ADD, no depression, no meds and she feels the urologist might also be a bit ahead on his go ahead plan. So we're quietly agreeing to his plan but also letting Luk know that from his Pediatrician he can stop and start as he feels with the new plan. His choice. She also backed me up in giving a more accurate future picture versus the crazy man's golden scenario that is far fetched. This Mama needs a break from the professionals.
Other than the weird call it's been a quiet day at my desk. Eric is outside working on the Big Cheese. New inside walls today. I love it when he randomly sends me new pics of his project. Still coughing but better if I stay still and quiet and breath shallow.
All that's left for today is early dinner and hip hop for Jia. Eric and I just finished Breaking Bad last night. We need a new series to delve into later.
