Back from the Neurologist and Doing Well
Well Monday night I left to head down to Milwaukee the night before our Neurologist appointment. We stayed with my aunt and uncle for a couple days. We had a really awesome time. On our way down we saw three rainbows. Dakota used my iphone to catch the pictures.
The weather there was gorgeous too. On Tuesday afternoon we spent time outside. Brittany blew bubbles and we tried to fly one of her little kites that she got for Christmas but there wasn’t enough wind.

Seizures Might Be Our Next Bump In the Road
Last night I had such a bad feeling. I thought about the events of the day and I was starting to get really concerned. Dakota hasn’t had a grand mal seizure in a few years.
Now Dakota takes meds also for ADHD. When he doesn’t get these meds he is normally hyper. Saturday I had one of the 4 pills left. I gave it to him. However, my point is this. Dakota was ALREADY calm before I gave it to him. He had all his meds Friday. Sunday we didn’t have the ADHD meds and he was more low key again. Monday is what concerned me.
Autism: Thinking About My Son Growing Up
Yesterday I thought a lot about what Dakota would be like when he grows up. In a sense I am terrified. In a sense I am trying to plan for that time when he is older. I only hope for the best for him. Dakota is an amazing kid. Yes he has social issues and there are many times he would much rather be a lone then hang out with friends.
What is Autism? – How we felt in the beginning
Did you know that 1 in 110 American kids fall on the autism spectrum? Did you know that autism is more prevalent in boys than girls? Autism affects 1 in every 70 boys. Each person with autism is different. There are no two that are the same.
