Dystocia
Ethan's current differential:
cerebral palsy caused by asphyxia during dystocia.
I think the mystery of Ethan's disability is finally coming to a close however painful it may be.
Also gathering up information to take to a lawyer.
We see a CP specialist on November 12.
I haven't slept in 2 weeks. last night I cried it out on the phone with his father. I told the dance company that I am going on hiatus likely for at least a year.
Recalling the horror of my birth story now with added bonus that my baby did not come out of that healthy makes me sick to my stomach. Especially because I have always felt my birth was extremely mismanaged.
Doctors have also been chasing down the wrong path for years. I do feel that this Dx is starting to explain some things that I had always just waived off as behavioral. I do hope with a correct diagnosis Ethan can start getting the correct help that he needs to live out the rest of his life. At the end of the day, he is the one that has to cope with his disability.
It hurts inside. A lot. I am having a hard time relating to anyone and feel very alone. I have a feeling that 2013 will be the hardest year of my life.
