Han's IQ assessment finally arrived. It didn't tell us anything new - in fact the report of her actual assessment performance was less detailed than the verbal summary the spychologist gave us initally - because the typed one didn't include feedback on the individual subtests within the Wiipsi. The 'scool of choice' rang - just to ask for a release of information form. So one step closer but still waiting...
In the meantime there was a cancellation at the sleep clinic so I took Han in for a sleep study - it is good to have another - 'before she goes to school' medical appointment crossed off the 'todo' list. She was a very good girl - patient with all the wires and cooperative with the staff. There was one registrar who sort of raced into our room and immediately started looking for her simeon crease and brushfield spots - not that all kids with DS have them (and Han doens't have a definite SImeon crease)! Anyways she made a comment that I was 'a knowledgeable Mum' when I showed Hannah's hand creases to her - she was looking at her own hand and amazed that Han's handcreases looked the same as her own - I wanted to say a lot of things to her about her doctoring and patient skills - but I bit my tongue - just said that yep - regular people can also have a simeon crease. We haven't got the results yet.
