A Good Day!

Today has been a fabulous day! The kids were happy, the husband was happy and I was happy. Life is good! We had a great day today. Seth had a great day today. It's days like this that I wonder..Does he really have Autism? I know that he does. I know it is real, but days like today give me a glimpse of the little boy that is really in there. The little boy that doesn't have Autism, the little boy that doesn't struggle with communication, the little boy that is right on target with all other four year olds. But that is just today. I cherish these days. I cherish the times when there isn't a battle for everything and when we all just have a good day! Praise God for this good day!

Friday we saw Dr. Escobar at St. Vincent Children's Hospital. He gave us a lot of information and did confirm what everyone has said. Seth has Autism. Dr. Escobar recommended ABA therapy, and major behavioral modification. It's funny how God gives us a child that needs total consistency when Joe and I aren't known for consistency. My statement is proven right now as I type because Emma-Claire is in here in bed with us instead of her own bed. She will go back to her room to sleep....but she is here now. Not very consistent! So back to Seth. We are looking into different programs and will make decisions from there. We alrady have Daymar working with us and we are just doing more research. Seth also had blood work done to make sure there are no genetic conditions that would cause the Autism. Seth was such a big boy when he had his blood drawn. He just sat and watched the movie and only cried once! I was so proud!

So now we begin to figure out what direction we go in for Seth...and pray for more good days!
