We don't have HBO,,,I wonder if Netflix would have it...<br /><br />Maureen, that's tiny! Wow! Of course, my children are just tall, chunky things, so it probably sounds even smaller to me than to most people. :) I had a friend with a child like this, and she ended up having celiac disease...but surely your son has already been tested for that by now.melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637174816423519588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32629830.post-87677675432200921552010-02-27T14:00:27.792-05:002010-02-27T14:00:27.792-05:00I mostly lurk, but I have been reading your blog f...I mostly lurk, but I have been reading your blog for a while.<br /><br />This post struck a chord. My second child, a boy, is a couple months younger than Tess. He has some mysterious set of issues. At 20 months old, he is only 18 lbs and 28", he does not walk, recently (as in the last 2 weeks) started taking steps, and had various other issues. Fine motor, socially, and emotionally he test at or above age level. Despite being to cardiologist, gastrointestinal doc, and neurologist, no answers. My husband is very much of the "there is nothing wrong" camp, but I just have a nagging feeling something is being missed. And his ped. that I love agrees. I love my quirky little boy, and wish I could do something. I'm praying for God to give you peace and fortitude for this journey you are going on with Jack.<br /><br />Prayers<br />Maureen (a different one than the pp)Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230451973630113592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32629830.post-77311056171142874122010-02-19T21:56:18.788-05:002010-02-19T21:56:18.788-05:00Mel, I don't know if you have HBO, but there i...Mel, I don't know if you have HBO, but there is a new movie called "Temple Grandin" that is incredible. It had me in tears. Temple always knew she was different. She didn't even speak until she was 4. Her mother never gave up. When children told Temple that she was different, her mother would tell her "different, maybe, but not less." That really resonated with me. This amazing woman embraced her autism and is now a professor at the University level. If you have HBO, I would strongly recommend you watching the film. It really touched me. God bless you and your wonderful family!Lisa Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12584089495171423348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32629830.post-1772388115809596272010-02-19T15:06:02.590-05:002010-02-19T15:06:02.590-05:00Mel,

First it was kindergarten now it's third grade. We may or may not make it. But we have a goal and he helps with that goal. We've found that having things "Daddy" does is important. It's still very hard for my husband to be in public with our and see how other kids are. These are emotions he (and sometimes I) have to work through. I'm glad your husband is going with you guys. You are so right, he needs to hear what's wrong and what his job will be.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029567673600650783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32629830.post-56579922190071588752010-02-17T21:01:04.445-05:002010-02-17T21:01:04.445-05:00Praying for you today!!Praying for you today!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029296444906951529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32629830.post-87293927556878476462010-02-17T10:46:27.666-05:002010-02-17T10:46:27.666-05:00HI Melanie

I want you to know that I will be thinking and praying for you and your family. We are in the "filling out the forms" process now for my 5 yo who has many of the same concerns. While he will still be the same little boy, getting an official dx is hard to hear. <br /><br />Prayers,<br />MaureenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
