Prayer requests

[PrincessNancy96]

Good for you and Stone Susie...
That is a step in the right direction for getting that help.. It will not only help Stone, you, but in the long run it will help the school understand what they are dealing with and the best way to handle the situation and help educate those that will be dealing w/ such situations.

Yep, once you know what is going on for sure.. this will open the door for many resources and for some answers...
Lots of hugs!!!

Thanks for the good wishes guys.

We had another IEP meeting yesterday and the school district agreed to honor my request for private psych testing. I don't know if this will include the Autism screening or not but at least I am down for only that much of it. My logic for the request was that the school psychologist was there to do what was in the best interest of hte district not Stone.

The hard part is getting someone to schedule an appointment for us for the screening.

The Asperger diagnosis would be the answer to so many prayers for our family. It owuldn't change him but it would open up so many resources.

Vicki--I'm very sorry for your loss!

Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts. The services and days went remarkably well. I think we all were at peace with Jill's passing, she had fought a long battle and was tired. No extra drama.(some family thrive on it).. which was a miracle in itself........Please continue to pray for the children and their father. He continues to be doing a great job with them and that is our prayer. He has moved in with my father in law (big deal for both of them, they are getting along well and trying to do what's best for the kids)until school is out. The children have missed way over the allowed- but the schools have been wonderful. As long as they pass the TAKS...........(I homeshooled my 3, so this is all new to me!)

Susie, we will continue to pray for you and Stone. Jill's middle son, was in the process of being tested for Asperger's. I am studying and trying to learn all I can about it. We have an appointment on the 29th. if they give me any great resources, I will pass them on.

and Susie, thank you for the song, I sang it randomly the rest of the day. We do that-sing. My kids knew it and my husband, so at sometime during the day, someone would start it again. We aren't even sure why we all know it. It became a source of joy for the day. and laughter. My husband and kids sing well- I tend to change it up a bit lol.
Thanks, Vicki

I am so glad that things are going well.

That song makes me tear up whenever I see it.

It was so hard to stay with Virg after they extubated him. Actually it was hard the whole time. But that 12 minutes were the longest of my life. ANyway, my point is - that song stood out in my mind because what a privelege I had to be alongside side of him when he was able to stand before his King and cry - "Holy" - that is the closest I could be without going myself.

Thinking about it in that aspect made me so happy that he was finally where he lived to be.

Can you imagine crying - "Holy"

WOW!

Vicki, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Susie, I've walked the path you are currently walking. Feel free to lean on me and let me know if there is anything I can do.

Ok, I do need some prayers...mainly pixie dust

A little over 6 weeks ago, my sister had her (7) children taken away. Apparently she'd had a dyfus case open due to her boyfriend. He was abusing the kids in order to control them. She was given a choice to get rid of him or lose her kids. She did chose to keep her kids, but since she wasn't working, she now needs to find a job/apartment/ect. Most of my family stepped foward to take a child so that they didn't need to go into foster care. I took my niece (6 years old). Almost overnight, I've had to morph from the cool aunt who spoils her, to the parental unit that keeps her in line. I have no idea what I'm doing. I put her to sleep at night, then hide in my room and cry. I've been begging God for strength, but I can use the extra words.

My sister now has a job...we're just waiting for her to get on her feet. So, I'm in the home stretch...but still beyond stressed.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Continued prayers Jen!!
It's hard becoming an overnight parent.. but your dneice will be ever so appreciative of the love and support you gave her through this.. as well as the rest of the family!!!

Lots of hugs..and if you need anything.. just let one of us know..

Please pray for my friend's 4 year old daughter Avery. She was diagnosed with a very agressive brain tumor less than 3 weeks ago and starts chemo tomorrow. Her family is praying for a miracle to save their baby girl. Thanks all.

The official diagnosis came in today. DS is on the autism spectrum and has pervasive developmental disorder. He was one point away from having Asperger's.

Knowing is better than not knowing.

I just wish everything wasn't closed before I could make some calls.

But, tomorrow is a new day.

Susie-

If you come back on tonight my DH's cousin (whom we are very very close with) with an autism specialist or whatever they are called. If you'd like to speak to him I can get you his info. I'll pm my cell number.
