Harry's first visit to see Dr. Klokeid.

Besides the flu shot at the end of the appointment, it went really well.
I was able to share a lot about Harry's medical/special needs history with her, as well as talking, she got to see his quirky behavior first hand. He headbutted the wall and was acting a little hyper during the visit today. It was nice to feel like it wasn't all in my head but yes it really does happen.

I had to explain to her that he converses and interacts best with adults, especially when it is in a one on one environment like this. Its when there is a lot of distraction, in a uncontrolled environment, with lots of people ie, his class or school bus, he just doesn't cope, he will not make eye contact with others and will not easily talk with other children. He finds it very hard to make friends because of this. So in seeing him in such a wonderful environment that brings out his best, that she may not see the real Harry. but luckily he did come out!

I shared all the normal stuff that share with all the dr's we've seen. His behavior/emotional/social/cognitive/OT issues. She was surprised that it has taken this long to get the right help for him and was more than shocked when I shared with her the findings from Children's.

Dr K has suggested he sees a neurophysiology who we will try and set up with next. Also to get an allergy test as he has horrible postnasal drip which could also be adding to his behavior and problems. He needs on going therapy and someone working on his case to give him the on going help he needs. Hopefully then we will figure out how to help him best.

I loved how Dr K says this is a new start, that we will do everything we can to get him the help he needs. such a difference to Pediatrics Ass. We are moving ahead, boy it feels great!!!

Now just waiting to get some contacts from her, she is all about getting us referrals and making it work!!! He is also on a antihistamine for the nasal drip, so will call them in a week to let them know who that is going.
