I think it's fairly evident I was not pleased with our appointment the other day, for various reasons. I'll leave Nolan out of it for the moment and concentrate on Asher.
Without getting into too many details, I will just say that the word obvious was far overused - in terms of things that are apparently "obvious" that Asher will NOT be able to do.
Umm, pardon? The kid is 2. TWO. Not 10, or even 5. TWO. Sure, some things are possible, or even likely that he won't be able to do, at least not in the traditional sense. But how is anything obvious about his future at this point, other than it is obvious he will have to work harder than most of us!
I was upset, I still am, but it has just strengthened my resolve (eww, sorry, I sound like George W. Bush when I use that term) to prove everyone wrong. Or more like to prove RIGHT the 99% of people who actually BELIEVE in Asher.
Obvious - that word better NEVER again be used in reference to Asher (or any of my kids for that matter) unless they are speaking about how obviously sweet, smart and beautiful they are!
Deep breath......... just concentrate on your conversation with Rio. She is one smart little lady and she has it correct. Asher (and Nolan for that matter) will be who they will be.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you had such a negative experience. Just remember that a lot of doctors usually focus on the worst case scenario. I will never, ever understand why. The doctor OBVIOUSLY has no idea what Asher is capable of and he will certainly prove her wrong!
ReplyDeleteyou know what is obvious - nothing.
ReplyDeleteAnd K has taught her nothing, I want to see the look on her face the day he does prove her wrong just like K has done!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. I've wound down a little and am trying not to think about it anymore!!
