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!!!!!!!

2 more Days!!!

Woo Woo Montana here I come I am so ready for this Vacation. I am so happy to finally meet some of my nieces and nephews that I have never got to be around. Now I just hope that Tim and Chris don't kill each other and that they make sure that Michael get's his medicine everyday. I really don't want to have to worry about it but I can't help it. And poor Yogi Will they feed him or just think that he will wait till I return in 2 weeks Ha Ha Ha

Cooler weather YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sure hope that my plane don't do this!!!! :)

Michael Update!

Well I am happy to report that the medicine is working with Michael.... He is so much calmer and no out breaks or meltdowns for 5 day's It has been so Nice~ I take off to Montana next week so I wanted to make sure that I didn't leave him here with Tim and Chris to drive them crazy! Now I have made a chart so that Tim and Chris will make sure that he get's his medicine while I am gone. I will be flying out next Monday!!!! I can't wait!!!!

Michael's Visit to the Doctor office!

Well I was finally able to get Michael into a specialist, We had a great visit and Michael was very cooperative with the Dr. There are a few things that the Docter want's to do to make sure that there are no other "problems" !st we are going to put him on Resperidal for his behavior, Blood work in a month to make sure he isn't diabetic or endemic . The Doctor and I are hoping that he will allow them to do the blood work. And then he want's to do a MRI to make sure that there are no hidden problems . He also wants me to contact a shrink to get him the help he need's , He gave me a Dr. that he sends all of his other kids too that need help! I just hope that this will help Michael.. I'll write more as soon as I find out anything!
