Our Fall has been a complete whirlwind! Fall Baseball is such a short season, so they cram as much in as possible in that short time-frame. Plus, I am heading up the Fall Festival at our church, so haven't had a lot of time to blog, but here's an update as best as I can do...
We now officially have 2 sons with Asperger's Syndrome with ADHD. In order to not "over-medicate" Aaron, we are living with him the way God made him...with just a little help. Matthew has now been clinically diagnosed with the same, so we're starting the entire proess over with him, trying to find the right "cocktail" of meds, if you will. The Dr assured us that Matthew will be probable 3-4 meds, because his "peaks" are different than Aaron's, with the ADHD. They are both about identical with their AS. So...other than flanning to the Dr's office that is about it. Our 2nd year homeschooling is getting better. Everyone is getting used to our schedule...in fact, Aaron has really bucked down. After our 1st 9 weeks of school, Aaron has concluded that he is going to be a "Pioneer" when he grows up...gotta love the simplicity of a child's mind. Matthew is doing as well as he can right, seeing he can't focus for more than about 30 seconds at a time...no joke! His reading is improving & he's even learning some pre-cursive, which he now admits is harder than he anticipated. Zack is still our most neuro-typical child. I think he gets frustrated being NT once in a while, but I told him to never take his "normalcy" for granted. Our family is going through a season of change right now, but our faith will carry os through. The Lord is really speaking to us about the direction in which our family should be traveling. We're excited to see what God has in store...we are truly willing vessels. If I don't get a chance to post again before next week...we trust you will have a Happy All Saint's Day, Nov. 1. Will post some pics from our church's Harvest Festival soon...God Bless!
