Some relief.

I was VERY nervous about the appointment today. The supervisor was coming today for the aid that has been working with Carter. My stomach was all upset, I couldn't stop looking at the clock. Finally at around 10am I caved and asked Cam to come home for it. That made me feel so much better.
So as I started reading my list again, I started psyching myself out. "These are not valid points". "She's going to think Im crazy". So to make myself feel better I re-arranged the list to bad - worse. Then put certain things together and made it one point.

So she got here and we immediately told her was had concerns. The first point I started off with was:
"When Carter doesnt want to play with something, he will wander away. His aid told me she has no idea what to do with him when he does this". I thought this was the very LEAST of what I was worried about. So to see the supervisor react the way she did was VERY reassuring. I even said to her "Wow, if THATS shocking you, just wait! Were not done". I made sure I went through everything with her. Explained why I felt that way, and she wrote EVERYTHING down. I had to stop talking sometimes because she was writing. By the time I told her about what happened on the last day with her, the supervisor was in uproar. That aid will NEVER be coming back. The supervisor will be looking for a new one as soon as the long weekend is over, and I couldn't be more thrilled! We meet for 1 1/2 hours! She really listened and didn't blow over what I had to say. I feel WAY better about this! She told me that if I have any concerns with the new aid that I am to call her ASAP and not wait for her to visit! So now we wait! Again!! But Im glad to do it!

Cam and I have told people more then once, "Carter is suspect Autism Spectrum Disorder". But after so many months of waiting, and having a specialist sit you down and say  "After observing you son, we firmly believe that he has Autism".   I now realize that I was not prepared to deal with the fact that Carter has Autisum.  I was, and still am, Devastated.  After the specialist told us of her conclusions she then asked , "Now after hearing that, how are you feeling? Are ok? Do you have questions? Can I help?" Honestly I thought I was fine. "We knew this was coming" I said. "I'm fine". Cams answer was the same. After she said "Yes, but sometimes having it confirmed makes it sink in, and you don't react how you thought you would". She was right. As soon as she said that I looked deeper and I knew I was ready to burst into tears. I wanted her out of my house and NOW. I knew Cam was dealing with his own feelings, so I h...

So i have been wanting to post all the projects i've been working on. But we are sick. Lovely flu. But the reason I am posting... Erica started rolling over yesterday! I could barley drag myself out of bed, but then i was greeted with this. She looks SO proud of herself when she does it too. Shes been trying since she was 2 months old. So I was wondering when she would get all the way. Shes 5 months in a week or so. She would only do it when you weren't looking. But now shes going crazy! She gets on her belly and tries to push with her feet. SO CUTE!!  She wont stay on her back anymore. Then when she rolls over she stares you down until you praise her. This is this morning. She is an old pro now.

What a HORRIBLE word. It is consuming. I wonder how many times that word runs through my head. I know at least once a day...... or twice.... or three or four or five..... ok ok 50! x 100.. anyways... On Saturday at work I helped this man. He didn't speak English well and I found him very frustrating. He thought it was $15 for EVERYTHING. Glasses, exam... everything.. He was suppose to go back in to see the doctor but walked out not realizing he wasn't done. (Were still talking about Fat hang in there). Last night he came back, and I avoided him like the plague. I could tell my co-worker was having a hard time with him too. Little did I realize why. Afterwards she told me that he was very confrontational and kept saying "Well the fat girl on Saturday said this". "But when I talked to the fat girl"......... over and over and over and over again. She asked me if I knew who helped him. Aren't I lucky? It was me. Nothing like hearing the thing you are mo...
