Last night, I was seriously asking God WHY me? If I am going to have a child with sensory processing disorder {SPD}, then WHY do I have rheumatoid arthritis {RA}? And, if I am going to have a child with SPD and have RA, then why is my RA the worst in my hands? WHY, WHY, WHY???
We have had a limited amount of non-freak out nail trimmings. My mom cut Ethan's nails in a snap last year...I need her trick. Ethan pulls his arms, wiggles his fingers, kicks his legs...the grip I need to keep in order to actually clip his nails makes my RA-stricken hands beg for mercy. It is such an ordeal. We either have to pin him down to the floor, or I need Scott to hold him down. I know it's frightening for Ethan and I know he can't help the freak out's, but oh.my.gosh. We have to figure something out!
Can you do it when he's asleep?
