Paed Appointment - Loo Bear

- At least today's paed was one that we've previously seen (even if only once and for Shmoo rather than Loo).

- Dx seems to be ADHD :-/ Not surprising, just the doc sounded a bit all over the place and vague.

- Paed's putting a referral into the system to have Loo seen by a psychologist, under the diagnosis of ADHD, to help give him some coping strategies and tools for self-regulating etc. However he said that it could take a while and so most people end up doing it privately.

- He also put in a referral for genetic counselling in relation to Loo's chromosomal translocation. Meh. Done all that when I was diagnosed. But we'll do it again, never know what new information or insights they might be able to provide.

- At least we got to have some fun collecting acorns and their little hats from under the big oak trees on the hospital grounds. Gonna make some acorn people finger puppets. :)
