Hey all, I've just joined this site, and this group as well. I have 2 children: Nickolas, who is 8 and has ADHD (along with seizure activity due to mild brain damage sustained at birth), and Emma who has...well, we're not quite sure yet. She is 4 and quite the sparkplug...lol. ADHD has been mentioned for her as well, but she might also have sensory processing disorder along with or instead of the ADHD. Oppositional/defiant disorder has been mentioned...well, we're working on it. I'm actually giving my job my one month notice, and will be a work at home mom come April 1st, because they just need that much attention. My daughter had issues at birth as well (month early via emergent c-section, 3 weeks in NICU with suspected GBS meningitis, lots of medication...).
Anyway...I love them both dearly, but find myself at my wits end more days than not. :) I would love some understanding and support from others! I look forward to meeting all of you...I'm Becca, by the way. Married, almost 33, live in northern VA but a NY'er originally. :) |
