Right, so doctors - both in hospital and medical centres (GPs) - have been a huge part of our lives since R arrived in 2009. Some have been absolutely fantastic and I have hated to leave them behind when we had to move house; others I have hated how they made us feel like we were making things up and that we didn't know our son!
7 years later and we still encounter this when our usual consultant isn't free to see us or has moved onto hospitals new. For me it's the constant repeating of everything that's on his file - from my pregnancy to each and every fit. His behaviour, his meds and even his poop cycle! 😲
Once you can get past that little hurdle, usually the path smooths out and you finally feel like some forward motion is achieved. Sometimes it's a false feeling, as sometimes even experts in their fields, just don't know what's happening or what will happen. It's all a learning curve for all of us - R, me and his dad, his little brother, his grandparents and even his doctors.
If you are feeling lost or alone - you, my friend, are not alone! All parents feel like this, and sometimes for us who have a child or children with any extra need, it can feel like we ALWAYS feel like this.
Does it get easier?
I'm still waiting to be honest. Life can be difficult with R alone but add that to an active 3 year old, a daddy who works full time and a mummy with her own medical needs = a controlled chaos 99% of the time. The missing 1%?
That's when the kids are asleep! Lol
