They had interviewed me, reviewed information from her teacher, and they wanted to meet her in person. (Our first appointment was on Zoom) For two hours we talked about Bella's medical history and how she interacts with the world.</p><p>Bella lives in her own little world. A happy world with Disney princesses, Polly Pocket, and Barbie. It's how she dresses. It's how she entertains herself. She doesn't watch movies - she acts them out - every word, motion, and emotion fully on display.</p><p>I have been asked several times, "Is Bella autistic?"</p><p>"No," I would reply. "She's just had a lot of medical trauma and was forced to live in her head for years." </p><p>A couple of teacher conferences ago (you know, when we actually used to have those in person), her teacher asked me, "Shelly, is Bella autistic?" (This man has been her teacher for five years and knows her as well as I do!) "No," I start my spiel.... "Shelly," he interrupted, "Is Bella autistic?" Huge pause. This man that knows Bella so well, and teaches autistic children all day asking me …We have to think about Junior High and High School. When she has people around her that don't know her so well. When schools would take away services. When my baby isn't sheltered. Is she autistic?</p><p>So at her next well child check up we asked for a referral for testing. We waited. COVID came. </p><p>And then the Zoom meeting, and then the in person...."Bella is a happy child. You have done a good job making sure she has all of the services she needs. You can tell she is loved. (Do they practice how to break bad news?) We feel she qualifies for the definition of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Now whether that was from birth or what she has experienced, we'll never know, but by definition, she qualifies for ASD."</p><p>We leave. And I try to keep my heart from breaking.</p><p>It changes nothing. I didn't want another label. But this has never been about me - it's about doing what's best for Miss Bella. How I love that little Princess!! <3</p><p><br /></p>Shelly Turpinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04950719033017424725noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170886037744998177.post-71030961660004388052017-04-20T18:29:00.001-05:002017-04-20T18:29:10.221-05:00Orthopedic Appointment<p align="center">Bella had her one year follow up after knee surgery – a year of walking and jumping – and now jumping! Who would have thought?</p> <p align="center">Of course, the poor baby was terrified. Despite all of my reassurances, she is sure they are going to hurt her. It’s really quite sad.</p> <p align="center"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WqPAZlltMDo/WPlEOFsYPoI/AAAAAAABTb0/LuOPlJMtGL0/s1600-h/received_10212286223693578.jpg"><img title="received_10212286223693578" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="received_10212286223693578" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Z9Q34XUhUHI/WPlEOmFNx5I/AAAAAAABTb4/cU0lLnNnTyk/received_10212286223693578_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="139" height="244"></a></p> <p align="center">A bribe for Gigi’s cupcakes actually work!!

So she continues in therapy and we continue to monitor that knee. Doctor says if she has to mess with that left knee, she is not going to be a happy camper.</p> <p align="center">Look at this x-ray!

<p dir="ltr">We start our prayers with the phrase, "Dear Heavenly Father."</p>
<p dir="ltr">When Bella says it, it sounds like "Hello Father" or "Hi there Father."</p>
<p dir="ltr">Then she babbles on and on without me understanding a word, finally ending with a solid "Amen!"</p>
<p dir="ltr">I love it!!</p>

Bella has missed it! I don’t know how many times I have been asked, “Ballet class?” this summer! She even got to the point that she would just insist, “Ballet clothes!” Poor thing thought I was just depriving her of her beloved dance class!</p> <p>Well, happy day, her group is performing at the State Fair, so they held a rehearsal!!</p> <p>Never fear, Bella, class starts up again after Labor Day!</p> <p><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zJnO9ChMfx8" frameborder="0" width="420" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>Shelly Turpinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04950719033017424725noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170886037744998177.post-54100494718585020122016-07-29T08:38:00.001-05:002016-08-18T08:44:14.553-05:00July<p align="center">We have had the craziest summer – once we moved here and we got all settled, I got incredibly bored! My babies were in school all day (on the bus at 8AM, and home around 5PM) – what’s a typically crazy busy Mama to do? So I got a part time job at church. It was great – around 20 hours a week and flexible. But I didn’t think about the summer – my job is year round. Oops! So my big girls have been taking care of my little girls while I work.</p> <p align="center">On this day, I went to work at 4AM, so I could come home and spend the whole day with the little ones. We had a great time!</p> <p align="center"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-U7c4v4AtNhI/V7W6om78dMI/AAAAAAABOcE/twx-Z17aX24/s1600-h/IMG_1717%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_1717" style="border-top: 0px;

Monday we went to the doctor. They were not happy with the ER. That cast came off and we headed downtown. Her incision had <a href="http://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-wound-dehiscence-definition-treatment.html">dehissed</a> – completely opened up – and it was very, very infected. She had emergency surgery for <a href="http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-irrigation-and-debridement.htm">irrigation and debridement</a>. We don’t know what this means for her knee. We will just have to wait and see. Infectious disease is now involved with our care. They are treating her as if she had a bone infection. We move forward. After a rough night of high heart rates and low oxygen stats, I did a lot of quick talking and got us home for the holidays. She just really hates being in the hospital. (Heart rates should not be in the 150s when you have that much pain med on board!)</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HcIBIE8w-U8/VlsUdJzJq0I/AAAAAAABJ1U/g2V5QKz_4FQ/s1600-h/IMG_4636%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4636" style="border-left-width: 0px;

Yes, she has an ipad with proloque that we bought her, but the teacher has found it difficult and time consuming to use, so it’s not being fully utilized. Sad. The dynavox is covered by insurance (yeah!) and is easier to program and comes with lesson plans. Her OT and ST sat in on the eval. I am grateful they were there, as this will effect all of our lives. We have been approved for a 30 day trial – wahoo! So we’ll go forward with this. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4VVTmYKzCOQ/VlsdExJdUlI/AAAAAAABJ4U/m_w8szS8Wkk/s1600-h/IMG_85173.jpg"><img title="IMG_8517" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="IMG_8517" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9hETIQpI3Lk/VlsdFpRhDKI/AAAAAAABJ4Y/GgqsoF2d1-o/IMG_8517_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="244"></a></p> Shelly Turpinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04950719033017424725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170886037744998177.post-19107550001967758382015-11-17T18:58:00.000-06:002015-11-18T18:59:00.450-06:00UofL Community Band<p>Brother’s school sponsored a fun evening with the UofL Community Band and dinner from Papa John’s.

When her surgeon came out, she was so confident. "She should walk", she told me. <br />
Walk - no wheelchair. <br />
Walk - that means she can dance!<br />
Walk - free, totally free!<br />
Walk!<br />
<br />
Bell, today as we sit in yet another hospital room, me with my microwavable meals and freezing to death, and you with your ipad, I'm just in awe. You did it, little one. One by one, you have checked off each of the issues giving you problems. Nothing stops you. So it's taken seven years, so what? You are amazing to me, little one!! <br />
<br />
May you heal quickly and finally be able to jump and run!<br />
Love you forever!<br />

The prescription will help relax those muscles (decrease the crossing) and magnify things she sees (like in class work). He also felt that she would like wearing them. I did my best to keep a straight face. Let the battle begin!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-paUcNFz0qJI/ViqiFN8YJEI/AAAAAAABI-Q/YWdjr5xFEXM/s1600-h/doctors%25255B4%25255D.png"><img title="doctors" style="border-top: 0px;
