So I haven't (once again) blogged in awhile. I want to I had this very special blog planned in my head but never found the time to get it out. Now it is fading from my head and won't ever be the same.
My oldest son, on Feb 15th was diagnosed with Autism. I had a blog planned centered all around that. But the raw pain is leaving me now and I am not sure the same words will come out that I originally had planned, but I will write that blog, hopefully with in the next 3-4 days.
I had 1 tooth pulled Monday and the one next to that has a root canal. It was the best way to spend our money and get all the work I need done to all the teeth that need it. So I have been on vicodin and these steroid pills for 4 days now and I haven't been myself. Plus I haven't really been eating and I had icecream today which was like the 1st sugar i have had in 4 days and between that and the vicodin i was feeling pretty good, I wasn't making much sense but it sure felt good :)
My youngest son had his 15 month check up today. He is in good health, small bit of congestion, and has a few teeth coming in. The Dr had him get his MMR 3 months early due to the Measles outbreak in San Deigo they are afraid will travel here to AZ. I was assured that the immunizations were mercury free, I had been very concerned and doing a fair bit of research on that. I had planned on post poning the shot till 2 years old, but with this measles thing that has come up, i decided my only real concern was the mercury and that was no longer a factor. But the idea of skipping it and watching my baby boy suffer through measles made it a no brainier. I guess he has a big head and is a lil tall for his weight, not sure that really means anything. He lost weight and thinned out once he started walking, so I was just glad he had gained weight again.
I have been spending alot of time online with a good friend, who lives in San Deigo, there had been times in my life I wasn't just sure how good or close the 2 of us were or would be, and was kinda sad because I knew what potential we had, and we seemed to drift apart or just get distracted by our own lives alot. But we have bonded alot lately and i am so very happy. She is even coming to see us and we get to meet her lil man. It will be a fun week with 3 lil men running around.
My kitten is missing, again, he was missing for about 3 days but he came home. Then a nameless person had my son let him outside and we haven't seen him since, it has been 5 days now and my heart is breaking. He is so good with the kids and so gentle and loving, I miss him so.
I have been dong alot better in my daily life, keeping up with house work and such. I have been accomplishing goals and it has been very very nice. There will be a lil bit of recovery needed after this week of pain/drug induced laziness, which i had hoped a lil that Beloved would be better at picking up slack, but he is having sympathy tooth pains or maybe they really are real too :P plus picking up the slack is not his strong suit in the 1st place, but sicne i was so caught up on House hold stuff there wasn't alot of room for things to pile up, Yay. My next plan is once i have gotten back on top of things then i may start trying to work some walking time into my new daily routine.
Ok well that should just about catch you up, sorry about the long rambling. I am good and I can see top of the mountain, just a few more rocks and climb and we will be there. It feels great already. I know that there will some day sooner or later be more hills and mountains, what would be the point if there wasn't more lessons heading our way, but this particular one has given me the strength training i needed to be able to tackle those a lil bit better now.

I am sure there are a lot of emotions that go through your mind and heart when you find out a child has autism.
Thank God for the internet and blogs, because you will find some great communities. I know some great bloggers who have autistic children. I can point you towards them and maybe they can point you towards resources or forums - or some other kind of support? ... E-mail me if you're interested. {{HUGS}}
Has kitty come back yet? I hope so.
