Today was a special day for R… She made her First Communion. Because of the difficulty we have getting to church regularly (because of M), we decided a home Mass would be best and she could make her First Communion then. We invited family and a few close friends (and filled the house!) It was [...]

The same developmental neuropsychologist who evaluated M last year, was going to evaluate R to see if she qualified for developmental disability services. In Colorado having FASD alone [...]

The pdoc emailed with the first of the results from all the blood work we did the other day… I’m not a medical person, but I know enough to be worried about some of the results. M’s blood sugar is borderline high (above normal, but just by a little), his triglycerides are high, and his cholesterol [...]

…plus a few minutes here and there, equal a disjointed post. Renee left a comment with a question I decided to answer here because I’m guessing this might be something other people are also wondering about. She asked: “Is there a problem with decreasing M’s Haldol and then increasing it if the other symptoms are worse? I don’t see the [...]

Hmmm….. what to write about. Nothing terribly exciting going on here… We are celebrating two birthdays this week though (and that’s pretty exciting!). DD#3 (K) turned 20 on Monday and R turns 11 on Sunday! Since we kind of have two sets of kids, the older set and the younger set, there seem to be two “babies” [...]
