Isaiah's Diagnoses

My son has fetal alcohol syndrome with sensory integration disorder/ sensory processing disorder. The latter is similar to autism but not autism. This means that when his brain receives information he doesn't process it like most people.

I guess the best way I can explain it is that Isaiah's brain was damaged by the drugs his bio mom did. This shows up in emotional outbursts/behavioral challenges, eating issues, and developmental/academic delays as revealed in the developmental test he took. Dr. Karnik said that Isaiah will have significant challenges all of his life. He said he will need "assistance" his entire life and "special education" throughout his education. In the meantime, I have to order some really expensive omega stuff and some vitamin b stuff from the Internet. I feel overwhelmed, but trusting God to help me. Please save Isaiah.
