Results are in!

Well I am back to work after meeting with the physcologist (which Courtney did go!).

Found out that Cyd has what they call Disruptive Behavior Disorder not otherwise specified. In other words...she has a lot going on in her tiny head to understand and comprehend behavior. She does show signs of ADHD, but it's too early to tell if it's true ADHD or just a result of something bigger. Her scores were off the chart in several areas (not good), she had a drastic range on the IQ test, from low normal to extremely high normal (almost above average).

So what's next...we are going to be getting a summary of what was found in her tests. Once I get that I am going to go back to her doctor and see what he can do. It's just a lot to take in for one afternoon. Her dad was so worried that she was going to get stamped with ADHD, and come to find out that's why he went was to make sure she didn't get diagnosed with it.

So please keep praying for us and prayer for my sanity as I learn how to handle what ever it is I need to handle. Thanks to everyone for your prayers so far!

Today at noon

Today is the day I have been waiting for...we find out what is going on with my little girl. It's a little nerve racking to think that in 4 hours I will be hearing some sort of news that may change our lives forever. I am not one that likes the unexpected...so today is not going very well as far as my stress levels go.

As I sit here this morning at work I can't help but think about Cyd. I haven't seen her since Friday morning when I dropped her off at daycare for a week with her dad. I will go pick her up on Sunday, but would like to just put my arms around her right now.

To those that read this, please try to keep us in your thoughts and prayers today (especially around noon). As we find out the results of Cyd's IQ and behavioral tests.

I will keep you posted as to what we find.

Just Venting!

Ok I need to vent.....
I have been dealing with a lot of stuff lately and Cyd step mom is one that is wearing on me the most lately. Every time I need to talk to Cyd's dad about Cyd I get "her" and then she questions why I need to talk to him. I am sorry if she doesn't trust him but don't take it out on me when I am just trying to discuss what is going on with his and I's child. She just thinks that she is miss perfect and I am getting so tired of it! I have asked my prayer group at church to keep me in prayers over this because I feel like I am ready to explode!
She just gets on her high horse and thinks she is better then me...she is only 22! 22...she has so much to learn! Just because her child is a year older doesn't mean she knows what is best for my child. Cylie (Cyd's half sister) has been pretty healthy...where Cyd on the other hand has NOT been.
Ok, I need to get back to work because I have a very busy next few days and not sure how I am going to get everything done before the weekend. I hope everyone has a great day!

Calgon Take Me Away ;0)

Holy Cow! This week has been something else. I am trying to get everything ready for Cyd to go to her dad's for 10 whole days (what am I going to do with myself!). My sister is starting to have small contractions that are not steady,but the doc told her within 4-5 days she will be holding a baby boy! Cyd's allergies are flared up so bad she had to be put on special medication to help control them. Geesh! Calgon Take ME AWAY!!!!

We are now on the countdown to baby Reece, Cyd's results, and the big one THANKSGIVING! I can't believe that next Thursday is Thanksgiving...and then my annual shopping trip with my BF Jen! (Which sorry Jen but if baby Reece is here I may have to miss this year! :0(...)

This Sunday we are singing at the mall for the Simon Youth Foundation (tickets are $10 if anyone is interested I can get tickets at my church Sunday morning) If the tickets are bought through the church then $3 goes to the Simon foundation and the remainder goes back to our music ministries, if they are bought at the door then the remainder goes to school corp? I think.

Well it's almost the end of the day and I am going to head home and get ready for my Zumba class (it's an awesome dance/exercise class) I would like to be in a bikini by next summer :0) Keep your fingers crossed!!!!

Hope everyone has a good night.

I know it's been a very long time! Sorry Jen.

I know it's been a very long time since I have blogged. So much has been going on I can't seem to keep anything straight. Yesterday at church I had a breakdown, so I figured I better start getting more out so that I stay a little more controllable.

I have been put through the mill with Cyd's tantrums, and there are times I just don't think I can make it one more day! Now as I sit here today I am counting the days till we get the answer...finally. On November 25 at 12 noon I finally find out what is going on with my child. She had her IQ test and behavioral test Friday afternoon and the phycologist said that she was able to see how quickly Cyd gets set off. I am so glad that it's not just me that she throws tantrums with, in a weird way it was encouraging to me that she doesn't just do the fits for Mommy...

I am nervous of the outcome, but know that God won't give me more then I can handle (I keep telling myself that anyway). Things have been so upside down for over a year now, and I just can't keep up anymore. I am ready for 11/25/08!

Cyd is getting ready to go spend 10 days at her dad's house for the Thanksgiving holiday. I am a nervous wreck about this because she has never been to her dad's for that amount of time. Not sure how she will do, she doesn't take weekends very well let along an entire week! She will be with her dad from 11/21 - 11/30, and I am dreading 11/30. On normal weekends when I get her back it is not fun, I don't even want to think about what it's going to be like after 10 days!

I am sure I will post again when I get the results...hope everyone has a good week!
