Father's Day

It was a Happy Father's Day at our house. Grandparents were here...great day at church...Daddy got off work early...and we ate at "Fuddy's" (Fudrucker's). Our Saturday was super busy, we were at church for an all-day yard sale (7a-7p) and Aaron had a birthday party to attend, in the middle of all that. Anyway, Sunday morning, the little boy, whose bday Aaron attended, came to church, and sat with Aaron- he was so happy to see his friend there. After church, Aaron went scrambling around to find his friend, I found out why once we were on the way home...this little boy didn't have a Bible, so Aaron gave him his Bible that his granddaddy gave to him. I thought that was just about the sweetest thing in the world. I know God was pleased with his selfless act of kindness. This is our last week of homeschool for this term, and we are testing this week, so keep us in your prayers, that Aaron & Matthew will not fall apart & be able to complete their tests, without any stress...and without having to take 10 million breaks!

And He Smiles...

This week wehave begun a new medicine along with the Lamictal & Concerta. Respidone. It's still in a small dose, to be increased within the next week. He popped his 1/2 pill Friday night & went to bed, we were clueless as to what to expect, if anything at all. Let me say when Aaron awoke Saturday morning, it was the first morning in a very long time that he had a genuine smile on his face. He came to hug me & he just smiled & clung to me & kept telling me, "I love you mommy." Then came the quick rememberence that it was Saturday...Kite Flying Day & Easter Egg Hunt @ church & into orbit he shot...but it was still a more peaceable orbitation. He was also excited to be going to g'parents house because at his old church the visiting Easter Preacher is Tim Lee http://timleeministries.com Him & Aaron go way back. He'll never pass up the opportunity to see his buddy. Like I'm sure you already know, if you know someone with Asperger's, they either love you or despise you...there is no middle ground. Aaron also gets to visit his old buddies from church that he grew up with in his earlier years. All in all I am looking at Respidone or Respidal to be a good thing for us...but as with everything else with AS, it's a wait & see game.
