What You Doing Wednesday Week 187

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope your week is going well!

Wow what a hectic week.

Red Monster is off school so

we've been having fun together and

doing boring school work.

Red Monster went for tests last week

and it looks like he is dyspraxic

as well as dyslexic.

I have mixed feelings about this.

I knew in my heart of hearts

but everyone else wasn't quite as sure.

The team of doctors and assessors that saw

him have already started to arrange to go

into school.

They will go in and advise the school

what help and support he needs.

He is going for blood tests, he may go for

genetic testing and possibly an MRI.

A lot of his habits and things were explained

and loads of things started to make sense.

They also found he has hyper-mobility in his

fingers, wrists and elbows.

So all those times he was winging to me

and his teacher saying his hands hurt

they did.

They have advised what shaped 

knives and forks to get him.

He needs sponge grips on his pens and pencils.

No more pumps at school.

He needs the support in his feet.

So he might be getting special inserts for his shoes

as well!

Due to his lack of balance he turns his feet in,

flattens his feet and spreads his toes wide.

I have to say I was amazed!!

I was expecting we would go for the tests,

hear back in 6 - 8 weeks and we may get 

some help at some point.

Instead they were straight on it.

They already had the forms to sign so that

they go have permission to go into his school.

Part of me wanted to cry.

As the school nurse said he is one very intelligent

little boy.

The only thing is his brain lets the intelligence down.

It means he can't write it down

and now loads of things are affected due to

the fact that he has dyspraxia as well.

On a different note we have been

trying out the Cool Create 2-in-1 Sticker Magic Kit

We'll be doing a full review but

here is Red Monster having some fun.

I'm afraid I haven't got any further on any

of my makes this week.

I'll probably not get chance

till Red Monster is back at school.

I have started up a happy quotes book.

I just take a few minutes out of the day

and write a few quotes up.

It really makes the day a more positive one.

My favorite quote so far is:

I hope that I may always desire more

than I can accomplish -

Michel Angelo

I think that sums up my life in a T.

I love having things already to try and do.

I can never imagine my life being full

of things I would like to try, do and make.

Now it's your turn to share what you are doing.

It doesn't have to be crochet, anything you are making

is perfect.

Please add the pin to your post & check out a couple

of other people that are sharing their work
