[quote=Anonymous]We are still in the early stages of our journey. DC is a toddler and while diagnosis is unclear, we’re in PT and speech so far to deal with developmental delays. Some of the diagnoses floating around are more serious/life-long than others, but we won’t be sure what we’re dealing with until DC is a little older.

I’m just curious how other parents stay grounded and sane on this emotional roller coaster. Sometimes after an appointment with a specialist or PT/speech, I just feel so overwhelmed by information and also pretty emotional. I try to think positive and focus on the progress we’ve made and the fact that a couple of the scarier diagnoses have been ruled out, but some days it still feels like so much.

We’re doing what we can to make it logistically manageable - I took a flexible and less-demanding job last year to be able to make time for appointments and such. We hired an amazing nanny, who helps some with therapy follow-through and makes the day-to-day easier (no need to pull out of daycare multiple times a week). [/quote]
