so overwhelmed (xposted)

[Ilovehim89]

I am just so overwhelmed right now. How my sons new pediatrician noticed his facial features right away (I didnt say anything about his face) and wants him to have a fragile x and Down syndrome test done because he had a lot of distinct characteristics in his face of Mosaic DS (which is a little different then regular DS). I just wanted a referral to a neurologist to get his OFFICIAL Autism diagnosis...I got that referall but oh so much more...Now I am going to sit for 1-2 weeks worrying! I know he is still my little boy regardless and I love him no matter what! It is just so scary!! I don't really know what to think right now. The thought of DS never crossed my mind, neither did Fragile X since I had never heard of it. I want to believe everything will turn out fine and the test results will show negative but it is still a scary, overwhelming thing.


With Mosaic DS they don't always show the obvious facial features (they will have some (not always all) of the facial features but not always OBVIOUS ones and sometimes Mosaic DS isn't diagnosed until ages 1-4.
Here is one pic of my handsome man and I know no matter what happens, he will always be my special little handsome man

Also on the topic of pregnancy, my perinatal appointment is tomorrow at 1:30 and I will be getting an u/s to check to make sure that 1) the placenta really has moved 2.) to confirm if Laylah Grace has club feet or not. 3) to make sure the baby is still girl.

I am overwhelmed with all of this. Waiting on what's truly going on with my son and then how this baby may have a birth defect, it is just truly scary and overwhelming and I find days where I just want to cry. I am scared for my little man and his obstacles. I know I haven't really been around too much, it is just all of this is starting to get me and it is hitting me pretty hard. Please keep us in your T&Ps

You will be in my thoughts. Try and keep strong, I know it probably feels like you want to get under your duvet and stay there but it wont help in the long run. I hope you get some concrete answers so you can start looking for support in your local network.

Doesn't matter how often you post, ladies around here are quite happy to lend an ear.

Hope things brighten up for you soon.

Take care x

What a cutie you have there!!!

Im sorry that you are having to deal with such an overwhelming bout of information and uncertainty at the moment. What ever the outcome i hope your paediatrician is supportive and informative and can guide you through the medical logistics of it all. I also hope you have a great support network of friends and family to look after you xx

 

[amipregnant]

oh hun, you poor thing, i know uncertainty is the worse thing. just make sure you have everything written down that you want answers to, i always find i never ask what i want to know cause my mind goes blank. im sure everything will be ok. we all have an amazing way of coping at what ever life throws at us. Your son really is very handsome and im sure he will take everything in his stride. we are always here if you need to vent or chat and i will keep an eye out for updates on both appointments. good luck x

My fingers are crossed that everything turns out wonderfully for you and all you get is good news back.
