Hi, Jo Lynne I am trying to do something out of my comfort zone. I am so scared that I will mess this puter up. My husband got it for me so I would have something to do and maybe a way to connect with people while he is gone most of the summer. Thank You so much I would not have had the courage to try with out your imput. I talked to my husband about it and he said if I mess it up just call Ken. They don't have the little pictures just the stationary Now some info on me I am 58 years young and I have told everybody that middle age is not until 60. And with all my problems I can't help remembering a man that had been in WWII and had lost his legs and he made a platform on wheels that he pushed his self around on. He would not say quit. So I will never say quit. I will be like my mom and fight until my

last breath Love Yourself Lovely LMay

, I haven't seen a post from you in a long time, but I have been praying for you and every day.

How is doing? What does he do now that he is out of school? Karac will be 17 next month and

I am wondering what is ahead. Love and blessings, Pat K

I just uploaded 's pictures. It is hard getting pictures of him because he "hams up" or refuses them. I need to get a current picture of him. The last photo I got of him, at his high school graduation, he had his hands covering his eyes and ears -- didn't want a picture done.

I posted a favorite photo of mine, when he was 8 years old. He always had peaches-n-cream complexion and this photo captured it. For those that do not know, is now 23 years old. He is my 6'4" gentle giant-----most of the time.

is still home with us. Right now, I cannot get any of the day programs

to take him. He has had behavior issues in the past and the day programs that I

have interviewed won't tolerate it at all, and they are asking me to attend with

him, which gives me no break at all. So far, he has done pretty good at home.

We have our up and down days, but not the huge meltdowns like we used to have

years ago--thankfully. I have to keep him on meds in order for him to remain

home. These last few days, he has been having " all nighters " and manages to go

without hardly any sleep. I don't know how he does it. Last night, I heard him

up until 4:30AM, walking around in his room, pulling out his toys (in the dark).

He seems to be trying to talk more these last months. He still reverts to

stimming while covering his eyes and ears, every once in a while. As far as

frustration, I can tell that he is trying to contain it himself, which is good.

When he is really stressed, he shreeks, which scares me to death and makes all

of the dogs start barking! When he later calms down, he comes to me an

apologizes. I have never been able to tolerate that noise. I still jump a foot

when he does it.

Thank you for asking about him. I will keep him at home as long as possible.

His behavior and/or our health will dictate that. For the most part, he is very

good company, and seems to enjoy being with us. I envision ourselves driving

all over the US in an RV with along with us. Right now, our finances

keeps that dream from happening, for now.

P.S. When will my downloaded photos be added to the list of photos of our

children?

Do you have to be with all the time? Can he be left at the house

alone? Do you have anyone who can come in and give your relief? Does he

go shopping or out to eat with you? Love and blessings, Pat K

I don't leave home alone, while I go into town, etc., but I can leave

him in the house (alone) while I work in the back of the property (2 acres).

When he needs me, he will come looking for me in the yard.

I make sure that I am totally predictable for him. If I left him home totally

alone, I am afraid that he would panic and go running down the street,

hysterically looking for me. He will stay home with his 15 year old sister, if

I have an errand to run, but typically, I usually let him go with me. Guess you

could say that we are almost conjoined at the hip -- ha ha. I never mind

being with me as long as he behaves himself, and he knows it. I am his

positive reinforcement. There are days that are still hard, like last night,

when he work me up at 4:00AM to get some cough syrup for his coughing. I think

that he just really wanted me to be up with him while he had another " all

nighter " . I have been dragging all day from the lack of sleep and he is (right

now) walking all around the house singing " itsby bitsy spider " .

is good about going out to eat with us. There are times whenever I

suspect the place is going to be real loud, then we don't go. Also, when he is

doing poorly, we don't take him out at all. It is too much of a headache for us

and if he is going to act out, I would rather it be at home than out in public.

I do want to reassure other parents that was one of those kids who ate

only 3 or 4 things when he was a child. Almost all of those foods were from

Mcs. He still LOVES ketchup and will eat it straight, if he gets a ketchup

packet.

I always try to tell him things in advance, if possible. Even if it is

something unpleasant, i.e., bloodwork, I will tell him that it will hurt, but if

he lets them do it then we will go to Mcs, WalMart, or some other positive

reinforcement.

As far as shopping, I go when I feel like he is up to it, which is about 75% of

the time. Babies crying, loud speakers/intercoms, and the loud noises sometimes

make shopping hard for him. I usually go over my shopping list and figure out

what he may like, such as cheese crackers, and tell him that we are going to get

them and then I also get what else I need.

Now that he is older, the bathroom is no longer a major issue anymore. He goes

into the men's room just fine, by himself, and if he needs to be cleaned, he

does the best he can. Some WalMarts have family bathrooms and I prefer them, in

case he needs my help. There have been many a time incidents when his accidents

were so bad that we had to throw away his underwear and then go home and bathe,

again, it doesn't happen very often now.

I hear all of the pain and frustrations from Mom's who are dealing with things I

dealt with years ago. It makes me realize how far we have come. I wish that I

had a network back then, like there is now. I really did become isolated

because of , and I felt like it was us against the world. My parents

were not helpful and neither was his Dad. When was 10, his Dad died

then I was a single Mom until I remarried 7 years ago, to a wonderful man who

has totally accepted and adores him. My hubby is short and

like to pat him in the head when he shows his affection --haha.

has done much better than I had envisioned when he was diagnosed at 4

years old. The doctors did not give me much hope. I wish that he could have

meaningful conversations with me, but I have learned to accept his broken

attempts at it, along with his huge assortment of songs that he knows and says

perfectly -- kind of like Mel Tillis not able to speak properly but sings

beautifully. Yes, he still says the same phrases over and over, but it doesn't

really bother me like it does his siblings. I guess that I am just glad to hear

him talk to me.

I've added new pictures of my grandson Killian and my cover picture for the time

being is the picture of my liver that the surgeon took a picture of when he was

in there taking out my gallbladder which is still there in that picture. I guess

that's what cirrhosis looks like at the beginning of stage 4. You'll need to

look in the new album I set up under Debbie Curwicks not Debbie in Washington

which I can't seem to delete since I got hacked.
