Time to reflect

I have been following a fellow blogger that some of you may know already by the name of MckMama (MyCharmingkids). I just got done checking her latest blog and I found myself in tears, one because she is such a brave and strong momma, and two because of how much she trusts the Lord. I was completely moved by her strong spirit and courage she has for her little boy Stellan and at that moment I thanked the Lord for my precious gifts, Matthias and Gabriel, because I was reminded, that even though our struggles may be hard with special needs kiddos we need to remember to be ever so grateful to our Lord that we have them here with us.

Will you continue to pray for her precious little boy Stellan and his recovery, I know I have been every time I think of them. Please make sure you check out her blog under Mycharmingkids, I know you will be moved just as much as I was.... oh and be careful if you watch the video, if your anything like me you will be brushaway the tears.

Much Love!

Autism Awareness month

Tomorrow starts the month of Autism Awareness, and i wanted to post a quick note to remind everyone, if you know a child/teen/adult or a family that is affected by autism, please show them some love this month :) Some days are harder than others on this rollercoaster we call autism, your kindness may just be what the person needs at that moment :).

Much Love,

FINALLY A DAN DOCTOR!!

For those of you who do not know what a DAN doctor is, it stands for Defeat Autism Now, and in a short version, it means they are trained in bio - medical treatments for children with autism and also typical treatments too. Now when I say bio medical, that term in the autism community means, any supplements (vitamins, acidophilus ect) HBOT, dealing with yeast overgrowth in their systems and LOTS more (check out the sites I mentioned before). Anyway, thanks to my wonderful friends who shall remain nameless, I was finally able to take him to see Dr.Bradstreet. You may be asking why would it take so long, well these doctors cost $450 for an 1.5 hour session AND they are not covered under Arizona Long Term Care insurace. But thankfully we are finally on the road to try and recover my handsome boy from autism. One of the most disappointeing things you come across on this journey called autism is the financial burden it takes to try all the things out there to see if they work for your child, and when you are a single momma who had to quite her full time good paying job to take care of her son, its almost impossible to cover the costs for our DAN doctor. With lab test costing anywhere from $60 - $470 and supplements totalling for one month up to almost $350 you can see how this can be overwhelming. So right now, I am on a mission to figure out what to do. Keep praying for us !
