Hey Ladies,
Sorry I didn't answer sooner, I've been offline for awhile. Thank you all so much for your concern, that was really sweet.

The appointment was different to say the least. I'm not real sure if this lady is going to be the right one for us. We have another appointment next Monday with her, and if it doesn't go better than this one, we'll be switching. She had me fax her a long letter with the background of the boys and the things that they'd gone through, medical history and all that, so I did that the Friday before the appointment. When we got there, she asked questions about everything I'd already sent her the fax on. Her interaction with Acy was good I think though. He seemed to like her, but took more of an approach like she had the answer and he wanted it. She wanted to be in there with him alone, but he didn't want me to leave so I stayed in there with him. He wasn't really emotional about what had happened, but told her rather bluntly as soon as the door was shut. We shut the door, sat down and she said "So, how are you doing Acy". And he just blurted out what had happened and then sat there looking at her like "okay...fix me". I think it even took the therapist by surprise because she stuttered around the subject for awhile before addressing it. She reiterated what I had been saying about him not being the one at fault and the difference between an adult and a child and things of that nature. I felt like saying something about showing more emotion, Acy and her both were so matter of fact about things. I just sat there and wondered how he could go through so much in his little lifetime and be so strong about everything. He was very upfront about everything and discussed it kind of like an instruction manual. Very odd. I am going to wait and see how the next one goes, I'd hate to have him go through telling another person about this too, so I want to give her a chance.
