Aww, thank you. No, we'd never give up on her. And bless the GP who took me seriously - I need to write her a thank you letter, yes.
Its a huge relief to know *I*'m not crazy or munchausen's by proxy or anything else I've been accused of. Really a big relief. And though it does spread a bleak shadow on Pumpkin's long term future, the short term is blessed with a lot of help.
We're looking at changing schools right now, and a school has taken us seriously and can offer help in her nursery year as well as reception (kindergarten) year, so its all good from here on out! Its further away and means train travel daily, but there may be DLA in the pipeline for pumpkin, if i can get it for her. It'll be £70ish a week extra financial help so we can afford to take her hither and yon for extra things, appointments, a better mainstream school, etc. So, fingers crossed.
And its good for any others we might have, to have pumpkin a Dx this early means that any siblings, we'll be paying close attention to now that we know what to look for, and the NHS will take us a little more seriously as well since there's a family history.
Thanks for your support, Susan, especially with everything you have on your plate at the mo. *hugs*
