Another week goes by another doctor's visit for Tyler. This week we went to an OT therapist to determine if Tyler would need their services. His pediatrician recommended OT after several conversations from me saying that something wasn't right with a 3 1/2 year old putting things in the mouth that don't belong and not wanting to eat regular food that belongs in the mouth.
I thought we were going in for just an OT evaluation for that reason but we left with another issue. The therapist took Tyler back by himself for about 30 minutes and then came out and got me. Once I went back the therapist said to me "is he always this way!" He sure is. Meaning that he is so high strung and doesn't listen and isn't very focused. He likes things being a certain way, doesn't like change, etc. I answered questions about his habits and the way he is. We went over everything! Once we were done he left with a diagnosis of sensory processing disorder. The therapist still needed to get with the pediatrician to see what his thoughts were but guess what---he still hadn't called her back as of late this afternoon. I am beginning to wonder if I don't need a more active pediatrician.
Please keep Tyler in your thoughts and prayers with all that he has coming ahead of him.

We will be praying for you all as you figure out what is going on with Tyler. I can only imagine how hard it must be to wait for answers. Doctors can be so annoying sometimes!
