((Hugs)) I'm sure it's an emotional roller coaster. When J was officially diagnosed with SM I felt a lot of different emotions: relief that we knew what was going on and it would help us to help him, scared that my suspicions were confirmed and it wasn't just "shy," overwhelmed that we would have to be dealing with something like this and that or child was suffering with the anxiety etc.
I hope you are able to get out of your lease and move to get her the best services. You have been a great advocate for her!
Thinking of you swizz. FWIW, I've heard from friends who both teach and parent kids with special needs, that Montgomery County, MD is top notch, too. Hugs.
Cora is lucky to have parents that are such great advocates for her. I imagine there must be some relief in having a diagnosis, but I am sure it's must be a bit daunting too. Hugs.
Would moving to the next county help with your DH's commute at all, or would you be further away?
Hugs. I'm glad you finally have an answer. I know you've been at this for a while. Glad you had the instincts to ask questions and that she will get the services she needs as a result.
It is so hard to get that official confirmation, but you have already been a great support for her and this will help you continue to advocate for her. Hugs.
Hugs. It's ok to not know how you feel or what you feel. Be kind to yourself. We talk a lot about how great early interventions are but the most important thing is good family support. You're a wonderful advocate for your child and she'll thrive because she has you as a mom. Take all the time you need to process your feelings.

Sorry for all the hoops you've had to jump through :/ But I have no doubt that an early diagnosis will be a positive thing for C. She's such a cutie. Fingers crossed for your lease, DH's job, and everything else!
