hangry,yelling,defiant,sad,tantrums and more / enojado,gritando,desobediente, pataletas y mas !

Well everything started 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure if it was relating to his first visit with Dad in years , or something that he eat, or been sick or in pain; but everything turn in a very dark mood. Yelling at me 24/7 so loud that people was turning their head at me in every place that we went. Tantrums for everything and the hard part was not able to pick him up from the floor. tarek rituals got even worse,transition from one activity to another was almost impossible. So enough is enough and finally his appointment in behavior clinic arrived just in time before I start throwing tantrums in the street.  We have an amazing developmental pediatrician Dr paul Carbone in the Home behavior program in Salt lake city Utah. He did a long 1 hour examination and listen to all my worries, questions and tears. and ordered like 7 different blood work and abdominal X-rays. The next part was the NOT The fun part "blood work". After 9 years dealing with the pain of seen my son Suffer because they cant find his veins we keep always a tube of EMLA a topical anesthetic that we apply in tarek arms 1 hour before any blood work and will help to numb the area and help with the pain. Like I said they poke both arms before they were able to find his vein.I can assure you that for most of the time I just wanted to push the nurses away of my child but I knew that we will find some answers and soon he will feel better so I keep singing and doing funny faces . After a few M&ms the doctor send us to Primary children Hospital for X-rays. After that was really down the road. And I questioned why life was so tought with tarek and why I was single and Tarek Dad wasn't part of his life.Tarek didn't want to go in the car or get out of the car.walk or not walk, just creaming , yelling, and tantrums , perfect combination for a bad day.Well praying to God I got close to the door and then Tarek decided to throw himself in the floor, kindly the people in the entrance offered me a wheel chair and I was able to picking up from the floor and ignore his creams and banging head in the chair. Thank God for the nice people and radiology department they were able to manage tarek and calm him down.

That day was a long day because I had to stay in the city until 6:30 pm :(   I feel so bless to have a DVD player in the car , for the free splash pad around the city and McDonald :) ;without these 3 things I honestly think I couldn't survived to that Friday. The next post is about the first part of the treatment and what we found out. Stay tune !

Todo comenzo 2 semanas atras. No estoy segura si tiene relacion con la visita a su padre que no veia por tiempos largos hace ya 2anios, o algo que comio o algun dolor escondido; pero tarek estaba de muy mal humor, gritandome las 24 horas del dia,tan fuerte que la gente se daba vuelta a verme feo, las pataletas se habian acrecentado en un 50% y lo mas terrible era no ser capaz de recogerlo del piso porque esta tan grande. Pasar de una actividad a la otra era practicamente imposible; asi que al final de una gran espera la cita en Salt lake city en la clinica de comportamiento llego justo a tiempo antes que la mama empezara a hacer pataletas en la calle. Tenemos un doctor maravilloso que se llama Dr Paul Carbone. Le examino por 1 hora, y luego de escuchar Todas mis preguntas,reclamos y lagrimas nos mando a realizar 7 examenes de sangre y un una radiografia de abdomen en otro hospital. Esta parte es la parte "no entretenida" . Despues de 9 anios de ver a mi hijo sufrir cada vez que no pueden encontrar sus venas por ser tan pequenas, aprendimos que 1 hora antes de cualquier examen de sangre le ponemos una crema llamada EMLA que es un anetesico topico que duerme un poco la piel y que hace menos doloroso este proceso. Pues dicho y echo lo tuvieron que pinchar muchas veces en los dos brazitos, no saben la cantidad de veces que quize empujar las enfermeras para que dejaran de hacer sufrir a mi chiquillo pero sabia que pronto encontrariamos algunas respuestas que ayudarian a tarek a sentirse mejor, asi que segui cantandole y haciendo caritas chistosas . De ahi nos mandaron a otro hospital Primary children center  "mala idea jajaja", Tarek no queria caminar o dejar de caminar, subirse al auto o bajarse, y con mucha perseverancia pude acercarlo a la puerta del hospital donde se tiro al piso por otros 15 minutos mas de llanto y pataletas. Muy amorosamente las recepcionistas me ayudaron a ponerlo en la silla de ruedas y las enfermeras en rayo me ayudaron a distraerlo para sacar las radiografias. Ese dia fue un LARGO dia, por otras razones tenia que quedarme en la capital hasta las 6:30 pm. A pesar de todo me siento muy bendecida de poder acceder a un sistema medico rapido y con tantos avances, de tener un DVD portatil en el auto para ver pelis,de las piscinas gratuitas en la ciudad y de McDonald :) sin estas cositas honestamente no podria haber sobrevivido en ese viernes. En el siguiente post les cuento el resultado de los analisis y el tratamiento a seguir . Esten conectados !
