A Piece of Paper

We have an appointment to take Macie for her Medical Diagnosis on Monday, March 21st.
She is being evaluated at 10:30 by a team of 5 professionals. There is an OT, DT, ST, Pediatric Psychologist, and a Developmental Pediatrician. They will "observe" her for about an hour, then they meet for about a half hour to discuss, and document their "findings". Then they meet with Phil and I to discuss their findings/evaluations. They may or may not have an official diagnosis at that time. The woman I spoke to yesterday told me "Macie is very young, and they may not be able to diagnose her right now." I was asked "do you want a diagnosis?". I honestly did not know how to answer that. Then I began questioning if we should have this done or not. Do I want a diagnosis? Well.....No, no parent wants their child diagnosed with a disability. Do I want a diagnosis? Well......yes, I want to know what we're dealing with here. I want to put a name to it, for my own sake. It may come off as selfish to want this, but I don't care if it seems that way. This appointment, and the outcome do not affect any therapy that Macie is receiving now. It does not affect her in any way when she goes to school in September. It's a piece of paper that might give us a more concrete explanation on what is going on with Macie. It's a piece to the puzzle I guess.
