Our most challenging child is ironically home grown. For this blog I will call her sparkle because she sparkles. Sparkle was in a hurry to meet the world and was very tiny when born. After many months we brought her home and thought it would be easy sailing. We were WRONG. Oh boy were we wrong. We started noticing she was missing milestones. That was to be expected though we set up pt for her and carried on. Then came the rages and social delays and language delays. We quickly realized we were in over our heads. We tried to get sparkle services and found out that was impossible with out a diagnoses. So we went to Dr after Dr and clinics. The whole time her behavior was esclating. We tried everything that was suggested or we found on our own. She had to be admitted a few times to the hosp and then to a rt because of safety concerns. And is now currently living with a good friend who can give her the time and attention she needs. However she is doing AMAZING!!! Her rages and aggression are gone!...she is able to do most of her own hygiene and on a good day even helps around the house. I love the progress she has made and we are hoping to bring her home very soon!!....I have high hopes for her! She is very creative and a extremely talented artist! She has a flair for drama...the teen years should be so much fun!! She is also a girly girl and loves anything pink and sparkly! And claims she is going to be a astronaut when she grows up! She frustrates me but I love being her mom!
