I just scrolled through all the pictures on my camera, hoping to find one decent one, but no.  All blurry.  I've stopped taking pictures because I am so fed up with my new camera.  That's good, right?
We got Wyatt's results back from his SPD testing.  Overall, he did amazingly well with anything vision-based (copying a pattern or a movement, for example). He struggled with the tactile tests and did poorly on all of the tests based on his vestibular system.  So his OT wants to start a 6-8 week program working with him to strengthen his vestibular system (his sense of balance and movement) so that he is more confident in that area.
Last week Wyatt had to undergo some pretty major dental surgery.  While he was a champ and did remarkably well, I have been having some serious issues with the administration and the dentist that did the surgery from Children's Dental World. It is causing massive stress for me, and I haven't slept well since Wednesday because I work myself into a rage as soon as I lay down. I won't go into details here because most of you have heard them, and it is such a long story. I hope to get some resolution tomorrow, but it won't be an easy process.
Other than that, not much else has been going on (thank goodness!).  Paige has been going through a disgusting phase of digging out already chewed food from her mouth and grinding it into her hair and clothing. Hopefully that ends...tomorrow?
Between the OT and the dental surgery I have been feeling pretty burnt out.  I tried to plan a few activities on the weekends to keep myself busy with things I enjoy, but so far none of them have actually come to fruition. Kind of drives you deeper down that hole. I've booked an appointment for a new tattoo for myself, but that won't come around until April. And I can't really plan much else right now - part of the issue with the dental clinic is the bill, which our insurance covers less than 50%, so until that is sorted out, I'm kind of living in fear of being broker than broke for the next few months.
So, to recap, I'm miserable, and my 4 year old has spent the last few weeks being dragged from one appointment to another. :|
