We took Ryan for his 5 year doctors appointment last week. Because of all the issues that Ryan has, Kris took some time off to come to the appointment and we had a babysitter for Emma and Nick. He did great at the appointment. No shots, so he was excited. We spoke about any physical things that may be holding him back from what we consider 'acting like a 5 year old'. We ruled out a UTI and were referred to the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor to take a look at his tonsils and adnoids since he sleeps so badly.
We were called on that referral a few hours later and were in that afternoon! After his first ever X-ray, we found out he should have both out. His surgery is scheduled for October 4th (so that we can take advantage of the 2 days off of school that week). We are hoping that he will be able to sleep better after that, as well as effect his behavior during the day. Maybe, he's just not getting enough sleep!
We were also referred to the behavior clinic to get an overall picture of where Ryan is on the age spectrum. Unfortunately, it takes a while to get into the clinic, so we're still waiting on that one.
