I am happy and relieved the holidays are over!!! I was hopeful that things would really even out once again but it seems as we really address the RAD in both of the kids, it just rears it's ugly head and we see if even more!! There is no turning back now!! We are in it for the long run so we have to provide as consistent and as patient help to them as we can!! This is going to take time!!
Bereket started Kindergarten but I kept feeling like he was regressing (with attachment) as the year moved on and wasn't sure of the cause of it but after the holidays we have decided to take him out of school foeran indefinite amount of time because things were so bad with him! We found in necessary to put him back in pull ups and treat him once again like a three year old, which is where he is emotionally anyway! I have been doing a lot of rocking, looking him in the eyes, and singing to him! I must admit, it has felt like a major step backwards (not to mention my new found freedom during the days being taken away) but if this is what it takes to go back forward again, we will!!
Eden also is out of school currently and the last 2 weeks we have been provided respite care which has been a tremendous amount of help. She has been out of our home but still under very watchful and tedious care! Our friend on the coast currently has her and that works well since I have been in Sacramento with Bereket for another round of Pamidronate infusion. As I predicted, it has been a good thing for him to be so close to me always and away from the stress of every day pressures at home!
So we forward tread, an unknowing future but one thing we know is we love our children (every one of them) and we will fight for their healing and well being!! Whatever it takes!!
