The past month has been a crazy, insane...and shocking one. We've moved, on the hottest weekend of the year. Brian managed to get heat exhaustion, so it took us three days to move. We are moved in and trying to get settled.
Aidan finally got into the developmental pediatrician. He was originally "diagnosed" with aspergers by the school's psychologist. However, in order to get the official diagnosis and get help for him, we needed an developmental pedi. It was a long process, and two appointments, but we know what he has now. Our son has Tourette Syndrome, OCD, ADHD and GAD (general anxiety disorder). Yeah, we went from aspergers, to that. Talk about a mind-boggling day.
Aidan has had bronchitis for about a week now, and the cough still hadn't stopped today so we took him to the hospital for a chest x-ray. A cardiologist ended up being the only available to read it. Well, they discovered an undiagnosed right aorta arch. It is also known as vascular ring, and it is constricting his airway. So, we have to wait on a cardio-thorastic surgeon to look at it and see about treatment.
This has been a crazy, insane, heartwrenching process and I just don't know what to think anymore. A support system is what I need...and I gotta find it.
