Update on Cameron

   We had our big appointment yesterday! The one that was anticipated for a long time coming!!! We went to Children’s Autism Center. It is a part of the Children’s Hospital in Seattle. We met with the doctor there and spent 2 hrs. in her office. She was quite nice. I guess I didn’t expect anything different. The main stream prognosis is more evaluation. She said she sees the concerns and understands the concerns. She wants the clinical Psychologist team to do further evaluation on him. She has also asked that we get genetic testing done.  We will be doing all of this with him. The testing will be done here soon and one of the test takes about 4 weeks to get back. It will be about 3 or 4 months before we can get into our next evaluation. We are on the right path and the door was not closed. That was great news for us. Great news that she could see  some of the issues as well. We are still on a journey but then again will the journey ever be over? I am frustrated that it takes so long but also grateful at the same time that care and thought and specifics is being put into this. I sometimes wonder why God has blessed me with this incredible child and this particular journey however it has taught me many lessons. I am sure that was His thoughts into this. I can only learn, grow and get stronger from here.
           On another note. We are somewhere I am not sure where in Washington headed  close for the Or. border. Oh here is a sign 61 miles to Pendleton, Or. We are on our way to pick up Brandon. Very excited!!! We will drive to Ontario and maybe a little further tonight and stop for the night and then we can have him anytime after 800am tomorrow. WOOT WOOT!!! We have a big trip planned. We will be driving home tomorrow night. Then Saturday we have plans with some family friends and Sunday church! Then Monday for the fourth we will be Having a celebration for my beloved Grandma. We will be  spending some time with family and sharing memories. The rest of the week we will go with the flow but I am sure  a lake trip or two is in the forecast. Next Sunday we will be heading back to Idaho and taking Brandon home. We will then drive to Boise and stay there. Tuesday we go back to PATCH for what might be our final family meeting! We will head home Weds  or Thursday……… Very exciting times in our house!! Happy 4th to all our friends and family. We love you all very much and are glad you are all in some way a part of our lives. Be safe!!!

He Swallowed a What??

Image
Not sure where to begin. Alright it is noon and Courtney is getting ready to take a nap and Cameron had just got in trouble so he needed to go to my room and take a rest. Court just went to bed and Cam is in my room. I sit down at the dining room table to finish some paperwork. All the sudden Cameron comes running down the hall screaming holding his throat, “I swallowed it, I swallowed it.” I said “Cameron what did you swallow?” Cameron, “ I don’t know it was silver metal, I don’t know what it is?” I am at this point going what on earth now. I can not fathom so we keep talking he gets a drink of water and coughs and says I really did I swallowed it. At this point the older boys know what he swallowed. So when we all came to the conclusion, we did in fact decide it was a battery. I try to call his doctors office but they had just left for lunch. I called poison control not sure what prompted that as I have never called them ever. The lady was wonderful on the phone and told me that if i...

I Have Missed.......

Well today was a good day. It was oh so HOT……I love it….okay well I love it as long as I can come in the house and cool off from time to time. Spent most of the day outside doing absolutely nothing except being kissed by the beautiful SUN!! My niece came over with my Great Nephew (thanks!) and we had a wonderful visit….Have I mentioned how precious he is? Cameron went to his first night at Mega Sports VBS and that was exciting for him. Tyler is camping at Dash Point with a friend. As for me and Courtney we went to Preston to go to the kids bounce place for a birthday party for Tucker. So while I was there I got to see the all the little ones I watch during the school year. Believe it or not I have missed that so much. As hard as it is to devote a day to kids all day with in reality no break can be difficult at times. Some days I was absolutely exhausted and some days I felt great. Some days were filled with happiness all day and some days I was so stressed I wanted to be done. No matte...

Safe Travel......To and From!

Travels……..So much to say and don’t know where to begin. Started my venture and decided 10 min. into the ride I was tired. I really dislike when that happens. I prayed immediately for safe travels……Thank you for those that took the time out to pray!! Travels were safe. Loud music and window down….dancing…..just to stay awake and make the run smooth. Let me first off start with I got some gas. Then I get into Puyallup and coffee is calling my name but decided hey I can wait. So what do you know……Starbucks on every corner and I wait to find the next one and NOTHING……….Keep driving, NOTHING…….Heavens to Pete I think by now I am going to die. So I am driving staying very content with the driver in front of me. A truck pulls out in front of him and he had no choice but to pass at that moment. So I got stuck behind this truck that is driving 35-40 in a 55 I finally get in a safe place to pass so I do. Of course he speeds up…..but its all good……I may like to drive fast but I do not like to pa...
