It's kinda frustrating, yes, but I have to deal. I will get the results (to the metabolic tests) over the phone though tomorrow. We will go in on the 24th (to the GI). The reschedule was due to a few things. 1) I am running really low on money and I can't afford ( I have a gas guzzler) to drive the almost 12 miles out there, with gas at just about $3.00 a gallon I'm drained!!! 2) She is having this very important OT evaluation tomorrow too. This can only be at that same time as her GI appt would be. 3) they called me and told me that they can only take afternoon appts and I have no babysitters for my older kids.

Bummer... I was really looking forward to this appt being over with. They told me to just call around 1pm for the results, as the doctor has an appt with his newborn (to get shots) so he won't be there in the morning hours.

She starts OT tomorrow again YAY!!!! 12:30 she has her eval and then the serious stuff starts Friday. She may be going 3 days a week, but that is up to the therapist. She was approved to go from 5 days down to 3 days a week at PPEC. So I'm happy...

We also had the Transition meeting on Monday. It went well. Carlee went manic and started to throw things and strip down to almost nothing and run around while doing her screaming thing. I was embarrassed, but I wasn't in a way. In a way I was glad they saw that behavior. They made notes and told me that it was not normal and told me that they want to schedule testing (for Autism) on her when school starts. I calmed her with dressing her (with force) and buckling her in her stroller and her passing out after a few minutes of struggle and screams. It was harder on the lady then her and I, I think. I'm getting used to it, I guess. I did spend 30 minutes after the meeting cleaning up the playroom, trying to get it looking halfway the way it did when we got there. She tore it up so bad and they told me to just let her go......so I did.......
