This blog is about my son and our journey of ADHD, OCD, SPD, and PDD. Everyday brings a new challenge or obstacle.but this Mama isn't giving up so easily! Thursday, November 29, 2012. As I write this blog at 12:35 am, I am exhausted, drained, just done. But I have decided that they need to be 2 separate blogs. I am frustrated with waiting for appointments, evaluations, IEP's. All of this is so confusing and quite frankly, I am feeling like I want to throw in the towel. I keep going over everything again ...

A father's journal of the day-to-day journey with a son who has autism. Laquo; Silly Farm. All dressed up …. Last Sunday night, I gathered the equipment, let my wife know the time was at hand, and herded a shirtless Clay into the downstairs bathroom. The dog whimpered in the hallway as I locked the door. Yep It was time for Clay’s monthly haircut. I’ve been wondering why haircuts seem to be such a trauma for kids with autism (if you’ve ever been to an event with lots of these guys, you know w...Of course...

She was heading into an emergency Cesarean because the baby’s heart rate was dropping, and I was still sitting in the delivery room – feeling scared and alone. Rest in peace, Gpa Tony.

This Mom's Journey: Crazy Honest

http://thischristianmomsjourney.blogspot.com/2014/09/crazy-honest.html

Monday, September 1, 2014. As I visited with a friend about the start of school, I could hear him starting to have trouble. It's not a single-sense recognition.

Or that's the aim anyway. I'd be lying if I said I'm a champ at dealing with meltdowns. Because I do know. As I made my way to the service, all I could do w...

This Mom's Journey: Sick Day

http://thischristianmomsjourney.blogspot.com/2013/10/sick-day.html

Thursday, October 10, 2013. Remember when I said last week that Ryan could deal with a stomach virus easier than a mosquito bite? If you missed that post, it's right here. Well, I've had the opportunity to test that theory. Okay, so it wasn't as bad as a throwup bug, but it was *ahem* intestinal in nature. And it required much cleanup. There were Lysol, Clorox wipes, and many loads of laundry. It was another one of those days that seems to live you more than you live it. It's a sick day, right? After thi...
