Mom Bully 2.0

I can't believe it happened again. 


That mean mom was at the clinic and she actually bullied me today. Another mom saw and the nurses were advised so I will leave it in their hands. Just kinda of confused as to why someone would treat another person like that. Especially in this environment.


Anyway, this week has been really tough emotionally. Jaidyn has been really really really clingy towards me and has been having what seem like anxiety attacks over the simplest little things. It seems like nothing, but its really hard to describe how her behaviour is in words. Dr. Rod has suggested Jaidyn see the Psychologist. Not only to help understand why she is acting this way but also to help Jaidyn understand her illness a little better.


So today she had "play therapy" with two Psychologist where they observe her over the course of an hour in a room full of new and fun toys. Sounds pretty fun for her. 


And that it was. She played with a doll house for a good half hour, play-doh (which I refuse to let in my house since it becomes embedded in the carpets) dinosaurs, puppets and so on. She had a blast. She was really shy at first and wasn't really sure what to play with but she soon warmed up and was the sweetest, polite little girl I've ever seen.


I was sure to let them know that "this wasn't the Jaidyn I've seen lately." they both laughed and said that they were sure her personality would come out stronger next time. They also suggested they do an hour without me there, which will give me a little breathing room as well. 


After that we went down to the clinic for just a short visit with Dr. Rod and April just to check in and we were on our way. Her weight is back down to normal for her age. Still a few pounds heavier then before treatment started, but we all know she could use a couple extra pounds.


Back next week for the start of her next phase.
