There are many things on the list, post vacation (drats!) that must be done in the area of Gage Assistance.
1. Get name of child therapist that can deal with child trauma. Our behaviorist is great, but I think I need someone whose practice is just about kids who’ve been through a lot. Then call pediatrician to get referral sent for insurance.
2. Pick up the book I ordered Trauma Through a Child’s Eyes. I’d seen it on a blog of an adoptive mother and I don’t know – I just thought it might be interesting for Gage.
3. Get labs this week to check Prograf levels because he is on his second series of scalp-eating-fungus drug stopper.
4. Get us parents in to see the behaviorist to tweak the new behavior plan.
5. Get Gage to clinic appointment in a week for transplant and talk to doc about possibly stopping the predinsone altogether (he’s on a very low dose, but still).
We continue to try and get prednisone stopped. No such luck, as yet.
One good thing about your list was I didn’t see anything pertaining to Quinn. Perhaps I read too fast?
That adoptive mom of whom you speak? She warns that it’s a harrowing read — not meaning you should avoid it but take good care of yourself while you’re reading it. You hear me??
