I remember being so frustrated when kids we had worked with "aged out" of the mental health system and instead of being eligible for benefits, were sent to prison because there's more money in the adult system for incarceration than treatment. I know that's not your situation, but it is still frustrating to have that upheaval of changing so much in your life. <br /><br />I hope you find a neurologist who 'gets' itkariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077075126044741218.post-84681151302267605942013-04-19T08:07:14.580-04:002013-04-19T08:07:14.580-04:00Hi all.

Unfortunately, the neurologist cannot make those allowance. The policy at Childrens Hospital of PA kick ya out at 18. She was very candid in letting me know that it will be a pretty big transition in terms of the type of care we get and the general vibe in the waiting room, with staff, etc. I'm not looking forward to the change but then again, i wasn't looking forward to ANY of this back when she started out as a baby! LOL! Just part of life I guess!!<br /><br />If she stays THIS well behaved at the doctors, we'll be fine though :)Alicia Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244714478310893367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077075126044741218.post-12382228562122544992013-04-19T02:18:52.977-04:002013-04-19T02:18:52.977-04:00Woo hoo to CB for rocking out that appointment!
I...Woo hoo to CB for rocking out that appointment!<br /><br />I can understand that you are dreading the change from paediatrics to adults! Isn't it possible that you stay there a bit longer given that CB's developmental age is not her biological age?icansaymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13411395535212876876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077075126044741218.post-86301931481801475742013-04-18T23:10:34.965-04:002013-04-18T23:10:34.965-04:00great news for CB!
