What's next?
Wish I had an intelligent answer to that question. Instead, all I have are more specialists, who like me, do not have an intelligent answer. I met with our resource coordinator on Wednesday. We are lining up to meet with 3 new local specialists. One is the area representative for the Washington Sensory Disability Services. She will be coming over and giving us specific suggestions on how to make the most of Aimee's sensory abilities. We will also be meeting with a doctor from Mount Vernon who specializes in visual disabilities. After that, we will be meeting with a woman from the school district who represents students/children that have hearing disabilities. At least we don't have to wait for a diagnosis to begin constructive, practical planning!
Next Wednesday, April 21st, Aimee and I are going in to meet with Adolescent Medicine for the first time. It seems very strange to me to meet with this department. The description on the Seattle Children's website says "Adolescent Medicine is the care of people in and around their teen years, from about ages 9 to 21 years...Our team is expert in attending to the physical, emotional and social needs of people from puberty though young adulthood." Hmm. While I realize that her ovaries are a part of her reproductive system and thus are related to adolescence, it still seems odd at this time. I have to wonder, is this really necessary or are we grabbing at straws? How helpful is this going to be? I guess we will find out on Wednesday.
