Cameron’s Little World!

So the Journey we are on looks like this. Cameron needs new meds for his ADHD. He has also been diagnosed with OCD which I learned a lot about. OCD is an anxiety disorder. Something that I did not know also. So when at one time I said I think he has anxiety issues I did not know that OCD is in that group as well. I am going to try to explain this. This is Cameron and I am not sure that it follows every OCD case. For Cameron Obsessive is the object and Compulsive is the action. Thus the reason he is “stuck” on one particular thing. (Obsessed with food, bats, volcanoes, weather, tornados, etc.……..) The compulsive is his action the constant talking, watching, etc..  The other issue with this is that if you draw a circle and put a line 3/4 of the way through on the small section put thinking and big section put emotion. When Cameron as I say his world gets rocked.(to many people, something didn’t go as planned, something happened) The thinking portion goes away and all emotion takes ov...

August 13 2010

  So on this date I wrote this last year. I remember this day very clearly and it was a Friday. I remember the pain, the sobbing, the loneliness, and of course the heart ache. I remember no one understanding and the voice I was trying to listen to and not the people. We are now 1 year 4 days later and I am so glad I listened to that voice. I am so glad that I relied on God and He guided us in this process every step of the way. This was the blog I wrote the day I first called Project PATCH and started the process for Brandon to leave home. It took a total of a month and 8 days from start to finish we drove down that dirt road and dropped our child off. As we drove away wanting to turn around ever mile we went. So emotionally exhausted we drove an 1 1/2 hours and got a hotel. I laid there and cried myself to sleep in seconds. The harsh reality the hardest thing I have ever had to do. The real reality the best decision we ever made. We are now rejoicing that our son gets to come hom...

Simplicity

     The walk in my life is simplicity. Perfectly humble in all that comes my way. Catch up time. Brandon is coming home. Well by now everyone knows so good deal! We are almost to out answers with the Autism Center. Stay tuned for a blog update. The appointment is the 18th. I am going to it with open eyes and and open heart for whatever may or may not come. Courtney has a funky little eye. We go to the special eye doctor in Bellevue next week.    VBS wrap up. It went well with some glitches but of course God is control and he helped us right through them. It was a long week of being at the church from 8am until 6-7 pm everyday. I had children having small and huge breakdowns, above all we conquered strong. I very much look forward to doing it again next year. Camp next week, WOW I think maybe I am ready. I know it will be a long fun week with a whole bunch of 4th, 5th , and 6th graders. I love being able to be a huge part of that and it wouldn’t be possi...
