On Tuesday we visited with Dr. Comas, your family doctor, excellent professional and human being. As I said in other entries, we will always see him every three months to evaluate you and see how they follow from then on treatment. Evaluate whether you need to take another course or if this road we are doing well ... It is super container with us, and very sweet to you. He was happy, because before entering to his office I told you you had to greet and kiss. So when you came in you said: "Hi Dotor Cobas!, And TAS?." Hahaha!, And he with a huge smile to hear you say those words I returned the greeting with a kiss and a "Hey Valentine!, How you doing?"
This return, in addition to carrying some material with images to see how little by little you improve your language, I decided to take your beloved whiteboard with your bookmarks, because it seemed a good idea to observe how to draw, and as you write single words, being aware of what you write and not doing it "by heart."
His mouth fell open when you took the marker and started write your name, so prolijito, so clear. He said: "how awful!", "For his age is amazing, because even in children without this diagnosis is very difficult to see these achievements."
was laughing when I answered what you asked and until you tell (your way) moments before the reception, we had skidded on the floor and you had fallen flower giving blow in the mouth: "I fell!, flat wrong!, here mouth! "
put us happy to see him so happy with the little steps that you are giving ... and realize that we are on track, or at least I tried. He told us he could see that your language and your connection had improved markedly and the mischief in your eyes was incredible.
Your hyperactivity, often beyond us, but improved a lot, sometimes you have days when you do not stop a second and everything gets boring and any good reason for a tantrum. Your dad let her know your concerns about whether it would be necessary to evaluate the possibility of medicate, to what He said no.
He explained that there are two types of hyperactivity, both of which went hand in hand or were the result of a neurological problem: that which is revealed when the children were making up things or steps in its maturation, which become very restless, bored quickly of all, put anxious and looking to explore and look around all the time and did not stop a second, we said it was inevitable and which had to be filled with patience and set limits. The other is one in which children have an activity "nonsense" walking disconnected from side to side, climbing all over, without showing any interest in any business or any person. That this type of hyperactivity of you had noticed during the first consultation, which did not stay still for a second, I went up to the table, you climb the scale, to the chair, you lowered your, walked from one side to another, try to open the closet doors, the office, at which point should get you so you will not escape. That today this is not the case, he watching you now, to have a dialogue with you, see how you cope, and understand everything, they respond to the slogans and others, sees no reason to think medicate. That relieved me a lot.
also asked me to remind you that room were ... I told him, as did stay in room two in 2009, now with 4 years you were making room 3. He told me to see you wondered why you were cognitively thought for a 4-room quietly. I commented that your bosom Silvi had also discussed the same day of the meeting of parents in the garden. But both were agree that while this is true, there are several aeras where you're still out of date for your age and in my opinion, you feel lost in a room 4. To be in room 3 was going to allow you time to mature and on the other hand, it was good, in a way, you're a little ahead of the rest of your peers in terms of content that works with you Silvi in the room, because this way we avoid frustration on your part.
talked also the theme of this year, I wanted to give it another path to your treatment and stop traveling across both collective and forth every day of the week. It was exhausting for both, but especially for you. So for this and other reasons I decided to leave to the psychologist with whom we work from 2008 until late 2009, certainly on good terms and super grateful for the work they had done with Valen and how much he had been with him. We decided to find a psychologist who could work with you at home.
Your neurolonguista and a couple of moms friends recommended us a psychologist who makes home therapy (CBT) to take into account. We contacted her, and truth, we loved it!. We felt super professional, very sweet and very organized. We really liked the plan of treatment that you want to help implement. So after having a meeting with it and consult with the social work we decided to go this way.
I think this type of therapy is going to come in handy to achieve more.
in brackets, said he never did this type of therapy Valen, because at first I was not quite agree, I thought it would be too. On the other hand Dr Comas we suggested that we start with the professionals that he recommended to us and see how Valencia responded that according to that from then on we would see that course would take.
you are booted to Rachel, you neurolinguist and Silvia, your psychologist, both in clinic, which then add TO and music therapy ... Responded so well to treatment with each of them and although at first it was slow and cost hooked, you did and the progress is going to see over the course of months. Thus decided to continue on this path.
I think with this new professional can achieve many things, and that, obviously, is what we aim for.
The idea is to come (after social work aprube me because until that happens will come less) twice a week two hours each time. Have meetings to guide and control us and also have meetings once a month in the garden with your womb and the principal. Dr Comas
strongly agreed and believes that going barbarian come to polish certain aspect of your behavior with that deal more difficult for us. So we will make a note to introduce social work so we cover all the hours of treatment. Hopefully with this is enough and what they approve.
So this year started with everything. With this therapy Agustina and called the new psychologist who is super sweet with you and goes beyond patience, lol!, And the rest of the therapies that keep doing: neurolinguistics (still with Rachel), TO (with Leo ), music therapy (with Flavia) and spa on Saturday (with Ceci and Flower)., most obviously, integration into your garden with Lucia who hit her with a wave that is very beautiful and tender with you. So
bold mine, we will follow, struggling to see small step for step, loving you as always ... back at you every smile, every kiss, every hug, every look.
Here we will keep fighting melee with autism, to give battle, as every day of our lives. Here we
, celebrating a new word every mischief, each charade, everything that makes us realize that you were more connected with us, with your loved ones in your environment.
for us is to touch the sky with my hands and feel renewed hope and faith is enlarged with every achievement yours, however small, because for some will be small steps, but we are leaps and bounds.
We love you!
