In Knots Tonight.

Well, firstly an update on Haley. Haley had her evaluation yesterday and as I have mentioned, things have become quite peaceful and at a normal level in this home. I believe this is because of a change in my parenting style which has been facilitated by getting help for my anxiety disorder.

At her evaluation, the Dr found nothing significant and believes it is a change in my parenting style from getting help for my anxiety. He did find that she is impulsive which may or may not be a problem when she is going to school full time. He can not and will not make a diagnosis of ADHD until she is going to school full time and a problem crops up. So for now. Things are peaceful with the occasional normal rambuciousness one gets from young children.

So 1 down and 1 to go. Next week is Saley's appointment with an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist to have a look at her enlarged lymph nodes. She has one very large lymph node that is about the size of a large marble that she has had for 2 years. Her Ped. Dr. is not worried about it but her father and I are. Also, 3 weeks ago she had an ear infection which of course produced more enlarged lymph nodes. Now at this time the Dr had us get her yearly lead testing done and ordered a CBC. And everything came back normal. So I really hope this means that we do not have to worry about cancer. But tonight I am in knots thinking of it all.

I have no idea if anyone reads my blog, but if you do, could you please keep her in your prayers for strength and health?

Thank you.
