I thought I would add on to my detoxing chlorine post with some more natural chelators. The Taca website (http://www.talkaboutcuringautism.org/ ) describes chelation as: Chelation is the process of removing toxic metals from the body. Toxic metals are said to come from many sources including our environment, fish, and vaccines.Now, there are medically prescribed chelators that come in various forms like ivs, suppositories and pill form. I am not against…

He finally figured it out
I have to tell you that I cried as I typed this post. The realization that we have more typical days than autism days now brought me to my knees. It has not been an easy journey and we still have a ways to go to remediate his autism. But I think, by the grace of God, that he will be able to function as an independent adult. I honestly…

The Great Pediatrician Hunt!
We have had this one for a couple of years. In that time, we have seen her twice. Once when we took Logan in for a referral for ot/pt so insurance would cover it. The next time was Madison’s turn when we took her to get the bump on her foot looked at (which is seriously looking almost gone). Which is a great thing considering when Logan was younger, we…

A Fair and Accurate Representation
Over the past few weeks, I have given a glimpse into some of the struggles that I have while parenting a child with autism. While it may appear that I am complaining , that is not the case. This blog is about our adventures as a family dealing with autism. I believe that it is important to paint an accurate picture of that adventure. Some days are easier than others….

Stinker in the pool!
Yesterday, I decided to join the children in the pool to play. I have been trying to do this more often and not spend the pool time doing yard work or other chores. Certainly, when they are older, they will remember that I joined in the fun not that the yard looked cute or the house was clean. Plus, it’s fun. After yesterday’s post, you know that I am so…

Can you please be quiet now?
I feel kinda bad even wishing for Logan to be quiet. Like I am being ungrateful or something. You see, for the first 5 years of Logan’s life, I prayed for him to talk. I prayed more for that than I have ever prayed for anything before or after. Fall on my face while boohoo crying and praying. I promised God everything under the sun during those years. I even…

Even young people get attacked!
I learned an important lesson this week with Logan’s camp experience. When you are doing God’s work, it doesn’t matter if you are young or old. Satan will attack you. Satan doesn’t want you to do anything that brings glory and honor to God. Satan will do whatever is necessary and he doesn’t care about your age. Logan is not a perfect child by any stretch of the imagination. With…

Logan left for camp!
Logan left this morning for camp. He is attending the CentriKid camp (http://www2.lifeway.com/centrikid/) at a local college. Last year was extremely successful for him. This could be entirely contributed to the great chaperones that went with him. They were willing to scaffold him and do whatever it takes to make it successful for him. This year, he was excited to go since his best friend, Thomas , was going too….

Tiger comes to visit!
Tiger is spending a few days with us. He needed time to regroup and I needed assistance with some pre birthday projects. The children are so happy to spend time with him that I decided that was more important than doing lessons this week. For those of you who don’t know him, Tiger is technically my nephew. I say technically because I have had him live with me since he…

Flashback to hell
Got your attention didn’t I? I had a conversation with someone at church recently that reminded me of the early autism years. She was telling me that she knew someone that has a child with autism and she spoke of me to her. She told me that she had hoped to encourage her to come to church with the story of how well our church has embraced Logan (they have…
