On Monday we are once again off to see the pediatric behavioral specialist. We were suppose to have a follow up appointment about a month after our initial visit but the doctors office never called to set up the visit. We got busy with birthday, Easter, baptism, and company and didn't follow up until this week. When we called they said we are kind of booked up but let us see if we have an available opening - pause - oh we have one for this Monday can you come then. Of course we said yes.
Kennan has been having a rough time the last week or two. I think largely because school is winding down for the year. Any change for these kids can bring monumental stress. It makes life hard for everyone in the family. They just can't really manage any heightened state.
Kennan will apologise for doing something and immediately turn around and do the exact same thing again - and then he will ask why he is in trouble. It is very frustrating for both him and us. What for most of us would be a "mole hill" event is a "giant mountain" event for him.
So it really may be a good time to go and visit once again with the behavioral specialist.
On a side note we saw the endocrinologist a second time (at the same time as we visited with the behavioral specialist the first time) and we finally received the results of Kennan's bone x-ray. He is measuring as if he was an eleven year old instead of an eight year old. We have to go back and see her again in either September or October. If at that point his growth patterns are still way ahead of his age then they will make some decisions on medication possibilities. The fun never ends!!
