Poked and Prodded

Today and tomorrow will probably be stressful days for my sweet son.  Lil Man will be evaluated today and tomorrow by two different agencies regarding his speech delay.  Today's evaluation will be given by a private company that was recommended to me.  They specialize in speech therapy.  Tomorrow's evaluation will be given by our school district.  And then next week, LM will be "evaluated" by his pediatrician.   

Is this overboard?  I kind of think so.... BUT it's my (OUR child as my husband corrected me) child.  And I don't trust just one person to give me the answer.  Not that there is an "answer" per say.  The Hubby and I want what's best for our child.  We don't want to do anything that won't help our son succeed.  At the same time, we want to get him the help that he needs.... IF he needs it!  No, I'm not the most trusting person there is so why would I leave it to just one person to evaluate one of the most precious things to me.  So.....

TH and I were talking last night, and I commented that we are going to be torturing our son.  Truthfully, I'm dreading today and tomorrow.  We'll get through it but that doesn't mean I WANT to do it.  LM is on the shy side.  He's not real big on new people.  What are we going to do..... hand him over to a new person today for 60 - 90 minutes.  And again tomorrow.  Seriously, I'm tearing up just thinking about it.  I can already see my husband rolling his eyes at me if I even think about shedding a tear today or tomorrow.  But dammit, it breaks my heart to see my son freaking out..... I could be worrying for nothing!  LM might rock it out like it was nothing.... I sure hope so! 

If you pray, say one for Lil Man if you will...... if you send good thoughts, could use those too.  If luck is the way you roll, I'm game for some good luck too.
