While JD has Aubrey out of the house for some Aubrey and Daddy time I figured I would do a little update.
Things have been a little bit hectic around here. Everyone knows that we moved in the beginning of December. So we have been busy trying to get everything in order from that.
And then we had the holidays. We had a wonderful holiday season. We spent some much needed quality time with family. Including our extended family. Unfortunately we did not get to spend the holidays with any of our out of state family and we missed them all dearly. I also had the chance to become a little bit closer to some of my cousins that I have never really been close with.
So much has happened in the last few months since I updated last and I don't know if I can sum it all up in one post, but I will give it a try.
Aubrey is growing up so much I can hardly stand it. She is getting to be so independent. She keeps us all on our feet all the time. She definitely believes that she is the boss of the household.Aubrey does what Aubrey wants (so she thinks) She tells us to stop talking if she is trying to watch something or wants to talk herself ( it is the end of the world if she cannot talk 24/7 or if she does not get the last word in. HAHA) She will also argue with us about every little thing. Our most recent arguement was my favorite.
Aubrey: Tinkerbell is scared of monsters.
Me: Oh yeah? Did she tell you that?
Aubrey: Yup!
Me: Oh....And what kind of monsters is she scared of? And where do they hide? Aubrey: Tinkerbell is scared of monsters that are under my shirt!
Me: Oh honey there isnt any monsters under your shirt.
Aubrey: Yes there is.
Me: No there is not any monsters under your shirt Aubrey.
Aubrey: Yes there is. Mommy is scared of monsters. Aubey is not scared of monsters. Me: Well I am glad that you are not scared of monsters. I am not scared of monsters either. Monsters are our friends.
Aubrey: No momma you scared of monsters. I am not! I save you from monsters. They not friends.
Me: Well I believe that everyone is our friend.
Aubrey: No mommy. No friends.
There was more arguing on her part but I think we get the idea. And all of it was so matter of fact....I am right mommy and you are wrong. HAHA. The imagination of this child.
I have told everyone that Aubrey has been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder. We have been doing therapy two times a week for a few months now. Aubrey started to show some progress but then started to regress. She is still doing well with certain things but it seems that her behavior has gotten worse in the last couple of months. And it does not seem like anything that we do for her therapy wise is working. We are having some issues with Aubrey's OT kind of giving up on her. Anyways, I have spoken to Aubrey's doctor and we are going to look further into Aubrey's condition with some more testing and evaluations.
The doctor ordered a chromosome panel so that we may see if there is any genetic issues. While I have a copy of the reports I cannot understand them and I have not been able to get in touch with her doctor to have her interpret them for me. So I will let everyone know what we find out from that. We are also going to be doing a neurospych evaluation, and autism screening, we will be seeing a developmental psychologist and I believe the doctor has been speaking to a neurologist. My hopes are that we are going to do all this and find that it is indeed just her sensory processing disorder and all we need is a better OT, but my fears are that there is more going on there. My instinct tells me that there is more going on. But only time and testing will tell. It is very nerve wrecking knowing that there is something wrong with your little girl but not knowing for sure what it is or how to help her.
JD is busy at work even though things have slowed down a little for him since the holidays have passed. He has been informed that there will be another route available for him if he wants it. One of the guys is retiring. What that means for him is being closer to home, smaller loads, and less driving all together. And he will have better driving conditions in the winter, since the roads are really bad all winter long on the route he is on now. So I think this is going to be better for all of us. He will be much happier with his job, and I will worry about him less. And little miss will get to see her daddy more.
Anyways, this post has gotten long enough. I have talked about most of the things that have been going on and will talk about the rest as we go along.
I will try to post more often in the future and then I will not have to talk about everything at once.
There is never a dull day in the life of the MichiWits.
