Re: hey you all from Tn.!(homeschooling?)

[Guest guest]

Hey, just saw this post. Glad you are back Dawn. I know what you mean

about trying to keep up with the list. I try to read everything but responding

usually seems to be on the back burner. No, Seth hasn't said Mom in a long,

long time. He did take his alphabet machine and spelled DAD when his Dad went

in his room to play. Sounds like homeschooling has been good for . I

sure miss schooling the girls. They are doing very well in public school,

so I can't complain.

Sooooooo good to hear from you again!

Gail :-)

Hey guys, so sorry it has been so long, you all have been in my

thoughts, I have been reading when I can, and pray everyone is great,

so sorry about things I have missed and want to stay in touch better.

I read from the site but I just do not keep up like I want to. We are

okay just so much that has been going on.

is doing better but still the IBS issues and all. When he has

his good spells I am so thankful cause it is if I see my boy again and

he is really with me. for us, it is best that we homeschool cause when

he is having a bad spell, I have no idea how our school could handle

it. My dr. even understands now why we are home after all the trials

with school that we have dealt with. anyway, I think he is having more

good days and even through the holidays he wanted to be with everyone

more than usual. He is saying a few more words. " bathtub water " and

food words of course. and are you ready? Mama!!! I remember when Gail

told us about Seth saying Mama and how happy we were (Gail, is he

still saying it?) so you all dont think it still cant happen even at

9yrs. old!! he does sometimes say it to dad too but that is okay!!! he

is just more aware and has more calm spells. still huge sensory issues

of course so I have decided that sensory and tummy issues for

are his biggest problems. but, you all, when we have weeks with no

real aggression I am jumping for joy! when he starts hitting his face,

crying and being aggressive, I, like you all, become the crazy woman

detective.He is on previcid and miralax, they wanted to start a med.

for Ibs called Zelnorm? or an antdepressent that is good for pain

isses but I am not doing anything with meds yet cause things are so

much better. I love headphones, strollers, swings, and we have started

swimming, he has a love hate feeling for water, hard to regulate his

body temp. from getting so cold and is sensory overloaded but still

loves the water. we just got a neoprene suit. we will go to the school

for a music class every week (dr. orders) where I can go with him, and

still gets his ot and speech. sorry I am rambling!

You all are so special to me, I am so sorry I have been so slack about

writing, I am still so sad I did not get to come to the picnic!! I

also am sad I missed birthdays, and good and happy things, and also

trials, but when I read about them, you were in my prayers. I have

tried to catch up some.

I would love to be in, Janice, if the homeschool group is started, let

me know if this happens and thanks for thinking of it, Sherry, are you

glad too? but I really do also learn so much from this group and love

you all!!!! Dawn, s mom (he will be 10 in April!)
