Gentry Lu

I took Gentry to a pediatrician yesterday who specializes in childhood behavior and autism. I have started noticing things about Gentry the last little while and wondered if she had some form of that. After talking to the doctor yesterday and while she sat and evaluated and watched her for over an hour, she told me that she was 90% sure (not 100 because Gentry wouldn't talk to the doctor so she had to watch and listen to they way she interacted with me and the toys in the room) that she has PDD or Pervasive Developmental Disorder. In other words a high-functioning form of Autism. This has killed me the last few months since I have really noticed it, but I know that it will be okay. I know that if we get started on therapy with her now that she will be able to deal with it when she gets older. It is just extremely overwhelming right now especially when I have two babies younger than her. But I know that Heavenly Father knows her and our needs and he will help us through this trial and to learn to deal with it. Gentry will always be Gentry! The doctor told me that she would always have her little Gentry quirks, but I think that will be just fine. She is quite the little girl, and she is always making us laugh. We love her to death and wouldn't change a thing about her!
