Until Monday - our autism journey

I think I slept all night. I may have woken up once but from after ten to almost five I slept. I felt so much better and my stomach wasn’t a rocket ship ready for launch. Owen woke up at five too and he was mostly calm. It was a great start to our day.

He was very focused on his day and excited that his grandma was picking him up. He asked me if he could have another Halloween. I told him he has a party at school on Friday but he didn’t want to hear about that. He gets overwhelmed by information especially when it is not something he can focus on even though he wants another Halloween. We went out to meet the bus and off he went to school.

My mom told me he did well at music therapy. He was with another child in their session. I know that it will help with his social skills and taking turns. She brought him to me for his vision therapy. To say he was a little amped up at his vision therapy may be an understatement. He was ok but he was focused on chewing gum so he couldn’t focus on all the exercises. He wants her to be constantly chewing gum and he wants to talk about the color. He randomly asks people that he sees for gum and if they are chewing it.

When we came home he was very focused on the day’s events, the week ahead’s schedule, and to make sure he would see his teacher in August. I informed him that we were still in October but he still wanted to know about August. He calmed down after a while and sleep came quickly after a few false starts.

I had my follow-up appointment with my surgeon and I will have my surgery sometime in December. I am ready for the next steps and I know God is walking with me every step of the way. I told Owen about my appointment and he said the medicine in my “medicine box” would make me better. And I believe it will. His smile is my best medicine. Today is made to be a stepping stone for tomorrow. Learn from yesterday, grow today, and shine tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
