Rumors of Light (ROL discussion thread)

Let's just say she has a history of over exaggerating symptoms and manipulating tests. After failing/manipulating the sound booth hearing test (which shocked the doctor. He really thought she just had wax/dirt in her ear that needed to be removed so he was very surprised at the results of that test), he wanted to do a CT scan to look for tumors. I asked to speak to him privately and explained that she had been known to manipulate/exaggerate/lie about symptoms and tests and was there something "safer" that we could do to confirm that there really was an issue (at that point, she had already had a CT scan for a different issue...that also turned out to be nonexistent.). He said we could do the BAER test because there was no way for her to manipulate that, but if that came back with a problem, we'd have to do a CT scan. I was fine with that game plan. Needless to say, she didn't need a CT scan. :)
Oh yea - that is tough. I had to do that on an adult who was faking and scamming the workers compensation system once. Its hard when the kid is doing that because if you try to come on too strong the parents get mad at you for talking to their kid in a strong way. It can be very discouraging.
 
Are the dining pages being weird for anyone else? I can not see the restaurants on the computer. My dining button has completely disappeared from MDE (still in the list of choices on the left though).

Yeah...I'm not that parent. :D I love when a medical professional pretty much tells my daughter there's nothing wrong with her. I know that many times they (the doctor/NP/PA) have already started to figure out that things aren't as they seem. I've gotten very creative at getting my information to them so they have the "whole picture". I will say, she has actually been diagnosed with a few things -- she doesn't fake it all the time. But it's tricky to figure out which issues are legitimate and which ones aren't. We now have a pediatrician in the family, so that should cut down on the fake ailments because I know he'll tell it like it is.
 
Thanks. I thought maybe I missed an announcement when I saw the buttons.

It's really RUMORS OF LIGHT LOUNGE. :)

Just a bunch of folks trying to stay on top of what was happening in AK, particularly Rivers of Light, which transformed into a therapy group as we began to insert humor into the Disney chaos regarding all of this. We named ourselves, decided that lounge (aka drinks) worked well in lieu of "therapy group" or "club" and so Rumors of Light Lounge was born.

Once Disney announced they virtually have nothing to announce other than failure, we were no longer appropriate for Theme Park Planning forum since there was no RoL to plan. They kindly and gently moved us to Theme Park Community where we have remained ........... discussing Rumors of Light, all park things, off topic things, jokes .... and filling our time as we wait, and wait, and wait ..... and many have gone to Disney in silent protest wearing our shirts and buttons.
 
Not AK related, but for those of you going to a MNSSHP or MVMCP this year, your wallet is going to take a big hit (some tickets up 28%) and they go on sale tomorrow!!!

Holy crap !!! No wonder we stopped going to mvmcp !! (Last year) we miss the good old days of the free photos and buttons --- we used to look so forward to getting that photo in the mail --- just can't justify the price anymore for a few extra hours ---
 
Is anyone here waiting for the Jungle Book of Light show? Since that's what will be playing during our upcoming trip, I'm wondering when I can try to snag a FP...
