It's a Good Day!

We got a call from Michael' s Doctor today and they got the results back on his MRI No problems and his blood work was great too! Look's like Autism is the major factor Thank goodness he is healthy . The thought of him become Diabetic really scared me , In 3 weeks I take him to see another Doctor a child Physiologic, This Dr, Specializes in Autism and the kind of Medicines that help them . He has been really good today and very Happy! He has been in a hugging mood , So much better than a Crazy Mood!! :) Well Iam getting ready to make him 2 hot-dogs that's what he requested for his dinner.....

Just 1 day that's all I ask Just 1 day!!!!!

You know I would just love to be able to write a positive report one of these day's, We woke up to Michael throwing a major bovine at 7 am.....
Sunday morning is the only day that I really get to sleep in 1 extra hour and I was having such a wonderful dream till all hell broke loose. Tim got up to check on him , I stayed in bed because I really didn't feel like being hit this morning. Well it finally happen!!! Michael busted the glass pane out of the door leading out to the garage.Thank Goodness he didn't get cut the curtain is what saved him. Tim put up a piece of cardboard so that we weren't cooling down the garage too. It was just a matter of time The child is destroying my home! When we replace the pane it will be Plexiglas not real glass Heaven help us if he cut's himself, I told Tim that we better go ahead and change out the door going out to the backyard too! How much should a family take before someone looses it and goes postal ?????????????? Prayers I need Prayers I need heavens gates to open up and send down help!

Greatest Mom in the World

You know I never really realized just how wonderful my mother is. She's is so "with-it"
It is hard to believe that she is 70 years old, When my Grandmother was that age I thought she seemed so old but my mother must have found the fountain of youth, Even though she has some health problems she can still do a lot things that amaze me.
Gee I guess one would say she is my best friend and The older I get the more I feel bless to have her as my Mom! No other lady can stand on the same pedestal than her.
I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There back!!!!

OMG Michael and his Meltdowns
I have such a headache from all the screaming and yelling, HE broke another mirror thank goodness he didn't cut himself, I just had to wash the glass slivers off his hands . I ended up giving him 2 doses of his medicine today . WE really wish we could figure out what is setting him off all the time. He will go day's being so good that I almost forget that he's even in the house but when he has his blow up's EVERYONE knows he's around No one and I mean NO one should have to deal with this !!!!!!

The Big Day!

Well it started out just like I thought it would He woke up around 9:30 am which means NO FOOD
Well that wasn't too bad he just wanted to go back and lay down. Around 11:30 I had to try and get him really to go Well that was a challenge but I finally got him dressed, He started crying about the time we had to go I was able to calm him down and get him in the van. The drive over he just sat there looking around smiling acting very well behaved. Tim went with us I am glad he did because the boy is too big for me to handle by myself. After we checked in they had to take down all the info and the Dr. came in and told me that he was going to give him a shot to relax him for the IV and the blood work. SO they brought in backup guys to hold him if needed. But the Dr had me stand in front of Michael and had Michael give me a big hug while he got the shot. All Michael did was look at the Dr and said OW! WE walked him ove to the gurney that was in the room and I sat down next to him so that as soon as the drug kicked in we could lay him over on the gurney. Within 3-4 seconds it hit him. They laid him back and he looked like he was on a major high. they started doing the IV and he stop breathing I was watching to make sure they noticed They did They put his head up a little and put him on oxygen . I went back out with Tim and we went down stairs and had lunch. 1 hour later they came and got both of us to go back into the room till he woke up. it took him a very long time , As soon as he started waking up they wheeled him out to the van and it took all three of us to get him in the van. He is so out of it!! WE got all the way home only 1/2 block from the front door and he threw up all over the front of himself. he started choking so I had to hold his head up[ and he threw up again. Thanks goodness he only had a little coke on his stomach Chris Helped me get him into his bedroom and now he is resting . Man what a long day....... Tim just stands there watching me clean him up worrying about getting the leaves that blew into the garage which really pissed me off but I should have known It would come down to that.. I will drop off the disk at Dr. Coble's office after my dental appointment in the morning!

1 Day Till Michael's MRI

Well I have not figured out how to let Michael know about tomorrow! If I tell him too early he starts freaking out anytime he need's to do something away from the house. So I am wondering what the best way to let him know about what is going to happen . I'll just sleep on it and hopefully I'll come up with something! Wish me Luck!! :)

Just 2 day's till Michael's MRI

This Picture was taken of Michael in 2008 school Year he was going into the 9th grade/life skills



How do you tell a 16 year old Autistic Boy that in 2 day's he will be going to the hosp. to have a picture taken of his brain and that he can't eat any food after 9:30 am because they are going to put him out in order to do the test...... Huh?????
I am not looking forward to this Tim will be going with us. I told Tim that I wasn't going to try and do this all by myself, there is no way in @#$% I would be able to get him there and deal with everything all alone. I just hope that everything goes well, I really don't think I could take anymore problems with him. Everyday he seems to act different this morning he was in a really good mood and the sad thing is all I could do is "wait" for a meltdown and not really enjoy when he has a good day.All I can do is just wait and see how it all goes Tuesday. I'll update after the test......

Update On Michael !

Well I took Michael to the Doctor Again Yesterday for a follow up and his blood pressure was back down and he didn't gain anymore weight the last visit he gain 18 pounds in 1 month from the medicine that he is taking for his melt downs. This coming Tuesday I have to take him over to Children s Medical Center in Plano for an MRI. They are going to have to put him out to do the test so that means I get to fight him after 9am that he can not eat anything till after the test and the test is not till 3 pm. he is going to throw a major fit. since he will be put under they are going to go ahead and do the blood work that his Dr wants because he will not let them take blood. The Doctor wants to make sure that he doesn't have diabetes or low iron, If he becomes diabetic I will loose my mind he will not eat the way he need's too, Tim and Chris will have to get over it If we have to put him in a home or school that he can be watched and care for 24/7 I will not be able to since I have to work! I will report what we find out after the MRI is done. Then in Sept I am taking him to a Child Psychiatrist To see if they will be able to help us with the mood swings and the violent outbreaks that he has.

Pity-Party for myself

Ever had one of those day's where you just get fed up with all the bull @#$% that you have to deal with? Well today is one of those day's. I am having to deal with Michael and the Meltdowns again and the fact that the medicine isn't really working on him I really wonder if we will ever find the "miracle drug" ? I really want to re-do some things around here but I can't ever seem to find the strength or the time to do it! Today after dealing with Michael all I wanted to do was sleep. The boy is wearing me out !!

Hot Texas Weather

I'll say it again I hate the HEAT!!!!
It was over 106 today in the shade, I sure miss that nice cool Montana weather that I was blessed with just 2 weeks ago It seems like a Lifetime since I was up there. I really feel the need to live closer to my parents and brothers and their families....
The Economy really sucks right now and I have a feeling that it is not going to get any better too soon!!!!
Tomorrow after I get home from work I will be taking Michael back to see the Doctor. The med's are not working and he is eating me out of house and home I am so afraid that he has gain way too weight and the meltdowns are still around and a lot worst than before, I am not leaving till we get this fixed I can't take anymore of his meltdowns!!!!!!!
