we submitted the intake paperwork to get into the ADHD clinic at CHOP last fall when Q's problems first started.  the waiting list is 7+ months long, so on tuesday, we finally got in.

it was a little weird since he's barely had any problems since leaving the stupid daycare, but we still believe it is the correct diagnosis.  i was a little worried that they'd say there was absolutely nothing wrong with him.

the doctor asked us a bunch of questions, had Q do some tests, and just generally observed him.  she did confirm the diagnosis.  we thought there might be a chance to get him some occupational therapy to help with his handwriting, but he is within normal tolerances so no go on that.

the best news is that we are now on CHOP's radar.  he will continue to go there every six months or so, to monitor his progress and make any changes in his care if necessary. hopefully all will remain well when he starts first grade, but if not, we've now got this in our back pocket.
