Week 2 of the remedy

Whew........... the first two weeks have been hard........

Right away Handsome got a cold so we have been fighting through that first... today I think it is finally gone! :)

We have been seeing A LOT of verbal stimming going on, enough to drive me nuts honestly....... this is the kind of thing I haven't seen in a LONG time, BUT I was prepared for this :)

Along with the stimming though I am seeing great things as well.... lots of clarity in conversations he has never had before...

Example : tonight it was time to go to bed and he started to cry about having to go to bed right away, I laid him down and covered him up, and did our normal nightly ritual, kisses on the forehead, and in the middle of our usual "Night Matthias, Angels" and he says " Big ONES" he says, " Mommy, I'm okay now" WTH!!! He has never told me that after being upset about something :) This is great!

Another example : yesterday we went to get his shoes and orthotics and after leaving the room he says clearly" Mommy, I don't want these black shoes on, I want the white and blue ones on" lol they hurt because he was not use to wearing the orthotics, then in the car when we are driving away he says " Mom, I love you... and I like my new shoes" HOLY WHAT THE HECK! Remember now, he never talks this way!

So that being said, I will take the aggravating verbal stims etc, I love being able to see my son progress!!!

Homeopathy ROCKS!!!! And I thank the Lord for our Practitioner Pierre Fontaine on a daily basis!!

Much Love,

Slow Slow progress.......

Handsome is making very slow progress, we still have lots of new and old stimming going on constantly all day long, but I am remembering that this is common for the first few weeks... I'm just praying that the first few weeks goes by quickly :)... Please continue to pray for Handsome and his progress :)

Much Love,

A Day to remember..........

November 9th, 2002 my first born son Keane Michael was born into this world at 19 1/2 weeks gestation,  to small for this world to live here (to read the whole story about his life see my blog post from last year http://myboysmygreatestgiftsinlife.blogspot.com/2009/11/he-would-have-been-7-today.html). His short lived life has changed my life dramatically, and I have learned the lesson of what is important in this world. He was born at 6:12 in the evening weighing 8oz and very much alive :) ! They had told me over and over again for three days ( I went into the ER on November 6th) that he would not be born alive, that the meds they gave me were potent and that he could not survive it...But he did :) The Lord blessed us with the 6 hours he was here on earth.

Even though it was 8 years ago, those memories are so fresh in my memory, I remember examining every inch of him so I could always remember what my precious little boy looked like, talking about how much he looked like his big brother Khallee, I remember everyone coming in to see him one by one. Each one of them held him and loved him, and then we baptised him, shortly after I remember being in alot of pain, but not wanting to rest, I only wanted to hold him as long as I could while he was here... I cried....... oh I cried...... the tears fell frequently from that day on.

We were blessed to have a beautiful funeral service for him graveside, and I remember that day too, its so physically heart wrenching, to walk away from the grave of your child, leaving them there. The only comfort I had was knowing that one day we would see each other again.

As a Mother I wish I knew what he looked like, I want to know what his laughter sounds like, how he talks and walks, if he was going to be good at playing sports, or a great singer... I long to know those things....For now I know the Lord is doing a great job of loving him, I just miss him so much, even 8 years later.

To my first born son ............. Keane, I love you with all my heart and soul, Happy Birthday Sweetie!! I hope you know how much your life is cherished. You touched so many lives, and have left footprints on my heart.I wish I could hug you and kiss you on your 8th birthday today, but until the day I can, please remember how you are loved today and always. I love you!

Happy birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday Dear Keane...... May Jesus Bless you!!!

Mommy

Much love to you all!
