Good evening everyone. I am hoping tonight to recieve a few small prayers for our two little boys: Paddy and Marion. It will greatly help lift our spirits, and maybe it will make decisions easier in the upcoming times. Tomarrow, we are taking a trip to Patryk's Cerebral Palsy Dr. to decide once and for all if he will recieve the Botox shots suggested by the Doc. The botox will relax his muscles and hopefully he will regain movement, and be able to write, and to walk easier. He will end up having to inject 10-15muscles with botox and it will only last for 3 months and we will have to go back again for more. This will continue for years. There is a risk of death with this so we are very aprehensive, but we know that this is the best decision for him. Please pray that we make it alright, and we feel at ease with the decision. Marion is being seen by a behavioral analysis one a week for ASD like symptoms even though he is almost 13 months old. Our ABA (cindy) has been noticing him display hand dominance in his left hand (something kids don't develope until after age 2), and noticing him tucking his right hand up and under and not using it for anything except batting at things, and picking up a drink. He had a traumatic birth (emergency c-section for an arm presenting birth, low HR) and Cindy thinks that he may have nerve damage. This has made DH and I very sad, and worried about our little man. We have prayed for answers, but as of now God is letting things unfold without giving us a hint to Marion's future. Please pray that he will be ok, or that the damage will be minimal. I know I have written alot here, and I apologize. Thank you so much for reading this, and for the prayers.
Praying for you to be absolutely sure of God's will and have the determination to follow through with walking in it.
Praying for you. I used to do ABA full time (before I had kids). It's great that you have been open enough for your ABA to discuss your younger son with you. I had a client whose 14 mos brother was showing me signs of ASD, but they were not open enough to talk about it until he was 18 mos. I'll pray for wisdom for you with both your kids, and healing for your hearts as you walk them through this. God will give you the strength when it seems too hard. ((hugs))
Good grief Megan! You poor thing! You and your boys will be on my prayer list. Stay strong momma. Keep us updated.
