Good News and Updates

Well got a call from Riley's hemotologist today. The iron tests have came back wonderful yet again so there is no need to have him on the iron anymore, and also I won't have to take him into Charlotte once a month to get blood drawn anymore!

Therapies have been going well. Speech is coming out on Wednesday's and Fridays now because his regular therapist had to have her baby early. I am hoping all is well with her because she wasn't due until the end of October. Play therapy is wonderful. Jamie is the best! Jamie even signed up to walk with me in October for the Autism Speaks walk. OT is going well too. Just recently got switched over to another therapist becuase the other one works in the school system, and with school starting back she had to go back. The new therapist Lynne is great. She suggested doing brushing and joint compressions for him. Here is a link that explains it a little better http://www.slc.sevier.org/sibrush.htm. She has lots of ideas, and I like how she always brings something new every week, and even brings things for Jade to do as well.

This weekend coming up we are going to a Birthday/pool party. It is going to be outdoors, and then we are camping afterwards. Not sure how well Riley is going to handle it. He has gotten used to the grass a little bit more, but I am pretty sure the pool is going to be a no go.

I also wanted to share this video. My cousin posted this on facebook, and it really does explain what it is like to have  a child with autism.
