I decided to video tape Nick this morning.
Every morning it is a total fight and struggle to get him to school. He cries,begs, pleads and then says his tummy hurts and then throws up. This is a everyday thing and it is getting worse. I am at the end of my rope and I don't know what to do. If I take him out of school then I am feeding in to this. If I make him go I feel like it is hurting him. I am asking myself everyday what do I do?
I have recently talked to his pedi about it and she wants him to see a Specialist...sounds easy right? This is overwhelming! I have called a handful of people within 25 miles of us and they are either booked until April,can't take a child of this age or don't speak fluent English. What am I supposed to do? He obviously has some kind of anxiety problem. Thinking back he would cry if I left him. He would cry while we were in church so he sat quietly thru service with us. We eventually stopped going to church because of this.
So I am going to begin to document this issue in hopes that one of you read this and say "WOW we went thru that and here is what we did".



After watching this video you may say oh he is just crying you need to get over it. Well this was just the beginning of it. I wasn't able to tape the rest of the morning but I will next time.
