My son is doing well but may regress due to surgery

My son has been doing pretty good lately.  I am still not sure if I need to get him behavioral therapy or not.  He has his moments and was pushing kids down at his preschool.  He seems to have stopped that for now.  He is very emotional at times but really doesn't have the complete and total melt downs that often.  I am really not sure.  This Monday I took him to his speech therapist and she advised that this was his best day ever.  She said that he didn't argue once with her.  He likes to argue and tell you no.  He does have problems with controlling his tongue and has a hard time sticking it out and touching his lips.  He seems to have the same problems with his fingers.   He sometime can give you the thumbs up and other times can't.  I am not sure if that means he needs occupational therapy or not.  If anyone has any advice on this I would greatly appreciate it.  I am a bit worried though that he will regress once I have my surgery.  I am going to be having a rectocele repair and hysterectomy done.   I know that he may regress and I am not sure what I can do to keep this from happening.  If anyone has any advise I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks!!!


get any and all available

get any and all available therapies, they are pros and they are awesome! Does he have an IEP? He should. Don't worry about what he might do, he might surprise you. My kids always shine when I am not looking, and they always act poopy when I am near enough to look like their mother. :P. Anyway behavior, PT, OT, take all of it and ask for more. The more you get now the better the kid will be later.
