Hello everyone,
Well today is the day that is to begin it all. I am taking Caleb & Seth to see their Pediatrician Dr Jim Goutzamanis. He has been watching over the boys since they were born. They spent 2 weeks in Special Care under Dr Jim's watchful eye. He's almost a part of the family lol.
The first day of 3yo Kinder in April 2005 was met with the Teacher telling me there was something wrong with the boys and I need to take them to see someone immediately. I remember her saying "if they were my kids I would take them yesterday", that kinda scared me.
The twins had no language at 3yo but i was told by so many other twin mums not to worry, it was simply a twin thing...silly me listened to that and didn't take it further.
Anyways, Dr Jim was the one who guided us through what was happening, the diagnoses, the treatments etc and has been with us since.
I remember 3 years ago when the twins looked like they were sheep dogs coz to cut their hair was so traumatic for them we just let it grow....I rang Dr Jim's office distressed and he happily spoke to me and told me he would help me sedate them over the phone so we could cut their hair. So off I went to the chemist, brought the medicine and went back home, rang him up and we did it over the phone with the hospital doses... No it didn't work, I are stubborn boys. But that's how fantastic he has been to us.
Today marks a huge day for me. I have known for years this is what the boys needed and haven't been able to face it...it's been too big and scary. Massive Life style changes for our whole family are about to happen. I feel strong now and have the strength to get through this and get all of us throught this. My boys are much more settled now with their intence theraphy and have a better understanding of their surroundings and what im telling them.
Im starting to waffle on so am going to go and get our day started.
Wish Caleb & Seth luck, we will let you know the outcome of our visit later on tonight xx
