My son's pediatrician appointment
Well just updating ladies, so far Elijah's pediatrician has charged like a wounded bull which is very stressful. He was wonderful though and is sending Elijah to a gentisist and is doing every test under the sum to get us answers. In the mean time he has just labelled him with a global developmental delay until we get more answers. I mean I know no body likes labels but we need them in order to help describe why Elijah is like he is. Basically we have a two year old in the body of a nearly five year old. Atleast though we have a start.

Glad to read that you might be starting to get somewhere!! Just wanted to say that, once (and if!) you get a definite diagnosis, you might be able to claim Disability Living Allowance (DLA) - the form is a nightmare, and if you get the lowest rate (which we do for George) its only ??18 a week - but better than nothing! Good luck!

DLA is not related to work or income so no matter what your household income if you're entitled to DLA you'll get it.
