I have loaded some pictures of my son.  We go get our second botox

injections Monday and then his physical therapy is getting moved to 3

times a week. Any suggestions on potty training I feel like I have hit

a brick wall with it and dont know what to do now.

-Misty I found that with my little boy we kicked the pepe thing

first--Is he acting as if he is ready and telling you? I know we

thoughthe would never learn the poop thing but come to find out he

was afrail of the BIG seat so we got him one of those padded ones

that fit in the inside of the ring and he was broke praise God.Do

you still use pullups or diapers?we also had to go to big boy

underwear because he would tell us get me a pullup then go poop in

it so we got rid of them and it worked. Good luck on your mighty

adventure in toilet training lol. Just know you are going where many

have gone before.....lol sorry couldnt help myself ..let me know how

things are going,In

He does tell me when he has to go.  He is still in pullups and I have tried underwear and they dont seem to help him.  He will go potty in them and then tell me that he is wet.  I have tried talking to him about it and explaining that he needs to potty in the toilet and he will a couple of times then he just seems to forget and go.

Bridget you I know with Moriah it was harder to not know than to know

whats wrong.Once you know you can deal with what ever you have to and

know that you at least have a starting point.I know as a parent it is

such a feeling of helpness not being to help your child.But once you

know what your dealing with it is like it impowers you to start

finding the awnsers that will help your child. Does that make since??

At least it did with me.When we got Moriah they said she would be very

handicaped mentally and physically, that she would never go past her 6

week age in either.Mentally she is above target and phyiscally she has

mild cp and epilisy she is walikng taking independent steps  and is

talking a blue streek.she copies her brother whos 3 he told me the

other dat i"m not doing nothing and now her favorate saying is I

nothing when I call her.She was in trouble the other day and I told

her dont make me count young lady and i started with  one. and she

finished two free foor fi. I almost fell over. You know Doctors are

wonderful to have but they arent God and they dont know everything.So

keep a stiff upper lip and know there are people out here praying for

you and Preston. A pastor friend of mine use to say EVERY THANG IS

GONA BE OK!!! Even if it doesnt seem so at the time...

hi everyone doing ok ? well ive been off line for a while.but have use

of a labtop.sharon how is your little one.moriah is great. my daughter

moved home she finished radation and one set of the cemo pill snd will

start another the 25th they sure make her sick. she has to go back to

fort worth on the 30th for a scan to see if the cancer has srunk. keep

her in your prayers.have missed the room looks like there is unwanted

guest again .

So good to hear from you!  I miss all the post we use to have on here!

Glad to hear Ms. Moriah is doing great.

James is doing really well right now.  He started Kindergarten on Aug.

13th.  Real tear jerker for me!  He is loving it, he is in an inclusive

classroom during the morning hours and for the academics he goes to the

resource(spec. ed) room in the afternoon.  He is really working hard on

his walking, he's doing super on his arm cruthces!  Also, I can feel

God working and I can just feel that he will soon walk independtly, he

actually has taken a step by himself, just one, but I'll take it!

The SDR surgery was absolutely a God send for James.  It has made such

a difference in his quality of life.  He also recently had strabismus

surgery on his left eye, and Praise God that went well.

I am learning what alot of parents of special needs children have said

about the school, we really have to be our child's advocate!  After his

2nd day of kindergarten the teachers assistant in his room made a

comment to me that James needs might be better met in the resource room

all day.  I just politely told her that he needed to be given ample

opportunity to prove himself and adjust to the classroom.  UGH. The

first week of school was hard!  But, after speaking to the principal,

teacher and the central school office people we have things all clear

now!

Hope everyone is doing well!  It's been forever since I posted, so

sorry this is so long!

Have a great Labor Day!

Sharon
