WOW WOW EVERYONE

WOW WOW EVERYONE
SO RHETT WENT BACK TO TULSA TODAY FOR ANOTHER EVALUATION. BUT WHEN WE GOT THERE THEY DECIDED THE ONE HE HAD DONE IN OKC LAST MONTH WAS RIGHT ON ON EVERYTHING THAT WAS SEEN THAT HE WAS DOING. PLUS OTHER THINGS WERE ADDED. RHETT NEEDS ATLEAST 30 HOURS A WEEK IN THERAPY AT HOME JUST FOR HIS SENSORY PART OF THERAPY. NO TELLING HOW MUCH THE SPEECH PATHOLOGIST IS GONNA WANT. RIGHT NOW WE R AT 3-4 HOURS A WEEK IN TULSA SINCE THEY R ADDING A DIETIAN THERAPIST FOR US TOO. SINCE RHETT IS SO PICKY AND WILL ONLY EAT ABOUT 5 BITES AT ONCE. (WOULDNT EVER KNOW HE WAS PICKY SINCE HES 2 AND WEIGHS OVER 40 POUNDS) HES ON NUTRIENT SHAKES AND DETOXIFY MEDS. TRYING TO CLEAN OUT ALL THE JUNK IN HIS SYSTEM. OUR THERAPIST TODAY WAS RACHEL AND OMG SHE WAS SO AMAZING. TALK ABOUT RHETT REALLY HAVING A BLAST. THEN AGAIN I HAVENT SEEN ONE THERAPIST THERE THAT WASNT SO DEVOTED TO THE KIDS THEY R HELPING. RHETT CLIMBED UP ON THE TREE HOUSE AND SHE STARTED SHAKING IT AND SCREAMING AT HIM LIKE A BANCHE AND RHETT WOULD RUN THEN COME BACK AT HER LIKE HE WAS GONNA SCREAM BACK. THEN HE WOULD JUST GIGGLE AND THROW HIMSELF DOWN THE SLIDE. RHETT IS SHOWING SIGNS ON BEING ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM BUT SHE SAID RIGHT NOW IF I WAS TO TEST HIM AND HIM BE ON IT THAT IT WOULD "LABEL" HIM, AND SHE FEELS LIKE IN 6 MONTHS SINCE RHETT SHOWS SUCH GREAT PROMISE ON WANTING TO TALK AND KNOW WHAT HES DOING THAT HE WONT BE ON IT AND I WOULD HAVE LABELED HIM WITHOUT JUST CAUSE SINE YOU CAN HAVE SPD WITHOUT AUTISM BUT U CANT HAVE AUTISM WITHOUT SPD. AND SHE FEELS LIKE HES JUST SPD. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE RHETT WAS 6 MONTHS OLD I WAS OK WITH THAT ANSWER. AT HOME WE HAVE TO DO 6 30 MINUTE SESSIONS OF SENSORY INTERACTION A DAY ALONE. SO STORMY AS OF TODAY HAS A BABYSITTER WHO SHE WAS FUSSY FOR THE FIRST 3 HOURS and WAS FINE THE OTHER 3. SHE WILL BE GOING 3 DAYS A WEEK SO I CAN CLEAN AND WORK WITH RHETT DURING THE DAY ALL BY OURSELVES WITHOUT A LIL SIS CHASING US AROUND. LOL. WE R ALSO FIXING TO ADD A SCREENED IN PORCH THERAPY ROOM ON TO THE HOUSE SO RHETT CAN B OUTSIDE WITHOUT BEING OUTSIDE. IT WILL B BIG ENOUGH TO GIVE HIM THE HUGE BALL PIT AND SLIDE AND POSSIBLY A WOODEN SWING AND OTHER SENSORY THINGS HE NEEDS. IM HOPING IT WILL KEEP HIM OCCUPIED SOME. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL THESE CHANGES THAT R GONNA TAKE PLACE IN OUR LIVES. THE GIRLS ARE ALREADY SIGNING UP FOR THEIR 30 MINUTES WITH RHETT (WHICH REALLY AMOUNTS TO 10 MINUTES). JD IS GETTING SO INVOLVED WITH IT ALL TOO, WHICH I THINK IS THE MOST AMAZING THING HE HAS EVER DONE. RHETT HAS REALLY BONDED WITH HIM THIS PAST MONTH. AND AS WE FIND OUT MORE I WILL KEEP UPDATING.
