[quote=Anonymous]I empathize, OP. It will get easier, but right now you are in the thick of it. I wasn't working so I was able to take DD to all her appointments: speech therapy twice a week, allergy shots twice a week, OT once a week, plus various other tests and doctor visits for all sorts of things. I averaged 4-5 visits every week for years. But when DD started high school, most of that was done. It was very, very hard. I don't know how I did it, and I wasn't working. Working FT sounds almost impossible unless you have a very supportive parent or nanny whom you trust to report back to you after every single visit.

I agree with a PP: you have to prioritize. Do what's most important, and let the others slide. It all seems important (and it is!), but one thing at a time. You'll end up sick and exhausted if you don't let some things go, for now.

I've found that every provider gives you a list of a zillion things to do, and you go home thinking you have to do all of them. In fact, you don't. You do the most pressing thing, and some of them you just don't need. You be the judge of what's important. Don't let your providers tell you what's important. That might help.[/quote]
