2/2/09 Worst Winter Ever

So although school is doing a tremendous amount of good for Tyler, it's also making him sick more often and therefore our family gets sick more often. Yes, we are sick again! Tyler had a bit of a runny nose this week but seemed fine.. I started feeling run down on Friday night/saturday and then yesterday Tyler started to seem more run downt han normal. So that's the way it usually works, Tyler gets something, gives it to me.. then Ben gets it and then Dad. Sigh. We had one week of normal health in our house. Can't wait for spring!

So anyway, here is a link to another good recovery story. What I love about this story is that this family didn't even get a diagnosis until their son was 4, i.e. we had an amazing head start, beginning speech with Tyler at 13 months. Anyway, years later, their son no longer fits an autism diagnosis.. one can only hope that will be the ending to Tyler's story.

Oh, even though Tyler isn't feeling himself, he's still eating like a champ! THis weekend he found a chip on the kitchen floor and put it in his mouth, i quickly raced over to see what it was, in case it wasn't a gfcf treat and thankfully it was although I still did not let him eat it. So now, since he's interested in eating and will do so on his own, we need to be extra careful of Ben's food, and leaving his bowls/platse unattended, etc. to be sure that Tyler doesn't get his hand into something he isn't supposed to have.

Hopefully we'll all be healthy by this weekend as one of the autism groups is putting together an event on saturday at our local inflatable place. The boy slove it there so we are planning on attending if we are healthy, dont' wanna get the other kids sick.
