Your words are encouraging! Caterpillar has all of his teeth, but he is not walking and only knows a few words, so hopefully as he learns more this can all be put behind us. I suppose the part that scares me the most is the actual testing, since I went to several different doctors over five years only to find them confused or even surprised by my symptoms. It can be a long frustrating road, and it's not one I want my little one to face. However, that being said, if it is something simple, I don't want to waste any more time being frustrated with him, as I am sure I am not at my best when I am feeling that way! Thank you again - it's nice to know you survived! :) A Thank you, Lori. Your words are encouraging!

I know the frustration you can feel with the struggles of a little one when you can't seem to 'fix' something you know is wrong. I struggled (sometimes still do) with my Sydney for about 7 months. There were days I swear I shed 3 times more tears than she did that day...all we could do was cry together because I didn't know what else to do. I was at my wits end. Her doctor couldn't diagnose anything and I couldn't walk into Children's Hospital for one more test. I believe in my heart that at the root of it all was immaturity from her and her desire to be 'bigger than her own britches' as we have fondly quoted it. As soon as she started walking and learned some key words the world seemed to change! (Oh, and she got a few teeth in and that made a difference as well.) She has a happier disposition and we are sleeping again...thank goodness. I hope that the solution is simpler than we think for you and your family. Sounds like a happy boy is in there somewhere....so hold on to that and keep your faith. In time, this too shall pass. Best to you and your family! Oh Angie, my heart hurts for you.
