Awesome day for

March 30, 2005

was wonderful at the Special Olympics at the Tracks and

Fields yesterday. He could not wait to show off his medals at the

Movement Clinic afterwards. Only had 2 events but what a joy! Seems

to be improving each year.

2nd place softball throw, 3rd place 50 yd. track.

His buddy companion was a beautiful girl whom he just adores from

the same High School he attends which she visits every week for

Friends Having Fun Day. Her friends had also agree to volunteer at

the S.O. They were the High School cheerleaders. The S.D.A.P.E.

(school district director adapted PE) took his picture with the

group of girls, they just loved him and of course . Can't wait

to see the pic when she gives me a copy.

Another child 8 or 9 y/o boy with DS/ASD in Elementary, same school

district but different date finally was allowed to participate as I

had mentioned to his older brother that I he was ready for S.O.and

yesterday at the Movement Clinic when he saw 's medals, he

told me that his brother had won some too and had to place one of

the medals on his vehicle. Too cute.

Just to know some of us parents had to fight to make sure this event

did not get cancelled. It all worked out as it was schedulled at an

appropriate time this month instead of next month and the weather

was just beautiful and everyone had fun.

Hi Irma,

Congrats to . He has come so far. I can't believe my posts are finally

going through. I have been in a mess with this change over to DSL, so much for

technology when you are not too smart. I have been reading but not being able to

respond with my big mouth was stressful,LOL.

Thank you to everyone who responded on this. It was such a joy and you

know what? I did not even have to be the one assisting him like I use

to. He is becoming Mr. Independent of course still need supervision and

guidance but what progress and with a lovely assistant. I'll never

forget when he was running towards a different direction than the

track, the waiting, the crowd, the loudness, etc. Us chasing and

sometimes carrying him as he would want to climb the bleachers or just

have those terrible meltdowns.

On another note Dr. Beyer from UTSA here has decided to have a summer

Motor Development Clinic again and would like to work with

again. Looks like a busy summer for him. I can not say no to her as I

have to take advantage of it and its a free program and is the

only 16 y/o as the program is aimed for the younger ones. His High

School teacher is going to teach the ESY program and I went ahead and

said yes. After that, then to the Motor Development Clinic, ABA is

squeezed in here too. Plus I also received a call personally from a DAN

doc who wishes to also be part of 's world, not so much for the

money but she is a caring person who has worked with a lot of kids with

autism and told me that has a lot of (severe)autism in him. I

could tell she like the challenges. This I love as it use to be like a

deck of cards picking out the right doc and still had to hold my breath

for the never-ending wishing for some HOPE. Just awesome.

The other plan I wanted try this summer was Music Therapy,

Hippotherapy, swimming lessons, Chiropractor (adjustments) & maybe a

weekend camp. Which I know he is ready for. Isn't this nice? As once

upon a time there was nobody who was able to work with him and now he

has many knocking at the door.

Thanks!
