I feel for you sweetie! I know how hard it was for me when they put my

Breana to sleep for her MRI at age 2.5. I cried, it really scared me when

she was " put under " . She was in my arms and suddenly went limp. The nurse

warned me it would feel like she was dead, and she did. I almost lost it.

But, she came out fine, and so did the MRI. I just wish I was seeing a

better Ped Neuro. My doctor never followed through, I went back a year and

a half later demanding some answers...so she ordered a sleepdeprived EEG to

shut me up. That test came back " normal " , and again no follow through from

the doctor. I have had my share with the " Ped Dev Spc " as well...at that

age of 2.5, the doctor's excuse for Breana not talking was " she had behavior

problems..and needed to sleep in her own bed. Then when I saw that

" specialist " a year and a half later, she finally diagnosed Breana with Dev

Verbal Dyspraxia...and that was it. She didn't know very much to tell me,

just that my daughter may or may never talk...see a speech therapist(i

already was)...early intervention(i was doing that as well since Breana was

born). Anyways, I really envy those who speak of doctors who figured out

these issues at a young age for the children. I still am searching for a

doctor to help me. I think I just need to move away from Kansas! Hey, I

would love more information on insurance for special kids who's parents make

too much money for any other help. Thank you and god bless you and your

family!
