Tomorrow we take Karissa in to see the developmental Pediatrician. We will finally have " Diagnosis" of what is going on with her. We have been told anything from simple delay because of her hearing loss at birth to autism.
I know in my heart of hearts, that it is just a label and that tomorrow she wont magically turn into some other child just because he says she is or isnt something. Its just kind of hard to think about. I want to believe that it is nothing more than a delay and she will catch up ( soon, as her teachers seem to think) but somewhere there is this nagging doubt that there is something seriously wrong and that she wont catch up and she wont be "normal".
Please dont take offense to this.These are just my ramblings and my feelings and my fears. I know the world wont end no matter what the diagnosis is and that we will find a way to deal with whatever comes our way.
I could just use some prayers to get through this meeting.
thanks
