They are all parents of children with Autism and are fighting to raise awareness about the epidemic that is sweeping our nation. Please take a moment and check out one of the links at the bottom of my blog. Spend just 5-10 minutes learning something new about Autism and the children who have it.
Sam had a really good today. The weather was amazing here and she was finally able to get outside and play. She ran all over the yard smiling the whole time. I was so happy to toss her in the tub and see her muddly little hands and face wash clean. Anytime the tub water is dirty after bath time...it's been a good day! Tomorrow we have to be up and at the lab before 9am for her initial bloodwork. I hate the thought of her getting poked and in pain, but I know it is necessary for us to figure out what is going on.
I am waiting on the arrival of several books from my wonderful aunt who is an amazing resource and support for me. I also have ordered a few myself and tonight got one for Sam about emotions and feelings. I am back on the path, soaking up any information I can. My motivation is back and I am ready to take another step forward. I need to ride this out as long as it lasts, as with Sam's rough days....my motivation seems to fall short and I find myself in a funk too.
Hope everyone has a great week!
