Big Day at the Doctor's

So the boys had a doctor's appointment today. Duh! I only mentioned it like a MILLION TIMES in the weeks preceding it. I'd been looking forward to this appointment because it was with the specialist.

Aaron's appointment was at 10:30 and Adam's was at 11:00. The doctor gave them a check up and tested their gross and fine motor skills. He asked them questions, asked me questions and gathered his information. Then was the diagnosis.

Aaron does not have any form of autism. He does, however, need help with gross and fine motor skills and it would seem that he is a bit tongue tied. The specialist is referring Aaron to a nose/ear/throat specialist. Also, we're getting an occupational therapist to help with the motor skills and a cognitive behaviourial therapist for his anxiety.

Now with Adam, the specialist saw signs of ADHD but did not want to medicate him (thank goodness). He's also set up to see a nose/ear/throat specialist for his sinuses. And congnitive behaviourial therapist for further examination.

The doctor said more stuff but that's the gist of it.

All in all, I'm VERY relieved.
