Update

This week has been about as crazy a week as it could be. We spent three and a half hours at the doctor's office today for an appointment that really should have taken only an hour. The girls ended up getting immunizations and Beau ended up throwing a huge fit for Ken in the waiting room. (Ken had today off and agreed to go with me so I wouldn't have to manage all five kids.) Beau is normally the most compliant child, but he can tell when Ken gets nervous and this sets him off. Ken tells me later that he started yelling at the top of his lungs, "I'm going to starve to death if I don't eat." I'm pleased to announce that Beau didn't starve, but I think Ken almost died of embarrassment. We got out of there at 12:30 with all the kids starving and barely enough time for me to make my 1:00 pm appointment in Georgetown with Isaiah's therapist.

I had to meet Marie Ray who is "the expert" Isaiah's neurologist recommended to tell me what to do about Isaiah's rages. You guys aren't going to believe this news at all. I'm still amazed myself. But, tonight my son went to bed without a rage.

Ken went with me to watch the kids while I met with Mrs. Ray. She gave me so many helpful things to do with and for Isaiah. However, she also told me that she highly suspects that Isaiah might have "some characteristics of Autism" and plans to discuss her thoughts with Dr. Karnik. The whole experience was a bit much. I felt my whole body go numb and felt myself become eerily dizzy. I really thought I was going to pass out and when I heard her begin to describe Autism I could barely hear what she was saying. I am going to have to have Dr. Karnik rule out Autism now. This is all just a bit overwhelming.
