Weekend

What a weekend it has been!

Zoe has her first black eye....Otis was hyper because of Zoe and she was sitting on the couch when Otis decided it would be fun to jump up there behind her and knock her off. Zoe's right eye does not look so good from the hit it took on the edge of the coffee table. She's says it doesn't hurt now unless she touches it. So hopefully it will be gone soon.

Zachary has been all out of sorts and his dyspraxia showed its ugly face more times then I care to count this weekend. Lots of forgetting words, drooling, groping, and falling when walking. We've also had lots of issues with not understanding things, causing some tantrums to take place.

To top off all of this, today has been a VERY bad diarrhea day - or a very bad stomach day for him. I simply can't explain it to those of you who have not experienced his BM's for yourself - but I will try. They smell so very foul that we need to change his pants if we don't the smell still lingers making us think there is a poop when in fact there isn't. Today Doug asked Zach what it smells like to him (as they were both choking over changing him) and Zach's answer was "smells like vomit" I laughed when Doug told me but the sad thing is they kind of do smell that way mixed with awful smelling poopy smell. My description of the smell does not do it justice -- I have honestly never smelt something so bad in my entire life! I know this is really gross to talk about but the smell that comes from him is so very abnormal. AND today we dealt with the smell 4 times. Poor kid.....poor smelly little man. Hopefully tomorrow will not be the same for him and his teachers.

Tomorrow we have another appointment with the psychologist. We have the papers she wanted us to answer all filled out and ready to go. I sure hope we hear more from her about what she thinks is going on and how she can help us to help him more. If not this will possibly be the last appointment we go to. We just can not afford to see her weekly paying 100% out of pocket on top of all the other medical bills/expense we already have for Zachary.
