Roaring Dinosaurs

Julia was in a fine mood this morning. She woke up, watched tv, got dressed, had breakfast, including some of mine, and cleaned up to be ready for school She hopped out of the car and put on the backpack and walked into the playground. There, all changed. She did not want to go to school, did not like me, and was happy to punch a teach, stomp on my toes, and push a student who bumped into her. All of the behaviors were within the range of bad mood and not terribly hurtful -- she does have some control -- but all were inappropriate.

These last two days, there has been more inappropriate behavior, including loud voices an hitting. The therapy team has decided to keep track of it and see if there is a pattern.

I am beginning to grasp what a ride this will be. This morning, we have a bit of resentment hanging out. The docs presented us with something that they had never mentioned. Last night, we did some internet surfing and there is very, very little out there about "high risk" hearts/organs. I feel like talking to someone on our team to let them know what it means that David and I are lawyers! Medical people may hear the words "slight risk" and focus on the "Slight". Legal minds definitely focus on the "risk"! And we can figure most things out with sufficient research, but decisions without good precedent are usually bad decisions.

I just could've used the heads up by the team that there were some curved balls coming.

Ok, on with the day!
