Dominic had his neurological evaluation for Autism this morning. Dr. Gadia at the Dan Marino Center is an amazing pediatric neurologist. The way he performed the tests was suited perfectly for my little man. Fortunately, the doctor said that there are NO neurological signs of the autism spectrum at all. Yes, it is a sigh of relief for me... but the question still remains. What's going on with my kid?? We discussed mood disorders and if there wasn't a family history, it wouldn't even be considered... but thanks to mommy dearest and her bipolar disorder, it appears he may be suffering from a mood disorder. Luckily, medication and therapy can control mood disorders and there shouldn't be too much of a life change involved.
Of course, when we are out of town and don't have his entire wardrobe at our disposal, he gets a case of massive diarrhea as soon as I get him out of the shower and into his clothes and then again as we get to the doctor's office. I am overjoyed that I was prepared with a hotel laundry bag, PullUp and wet wipes. This has definitely been an experience that I am happy to share with all my readers.
We now sit here in the hotel room, banana and Gatorade (me with my coffee) in hand and cartoons on the television. I can begin to write the piece that I promised to Mama Speaks for her series on amazing moms. If this doesn't make me amazing, I don't know what does!
Until next time!
