Really worried about our son.... prayers please

15 years ago

With Tay having a hard time with change, there have been some issues lately. I just start feeling bad for him and then worrying about him.

We were to have a family reunion with my side of the family on Friday, but this was canceled last Thursday to some complications. This is something that Taylor had been looking so forward to, so us having to tell him that some things came up and it had to be canceled, he had a bad set back. It just breaks my heart to see my son get so distressed. He had looked so forward to seeing his cousins, grandparents, and aunts and uncles. He had been working really hard on the unit to keep himself on levels to allow him to go. So, almost a week later and he is still having a hard time with it. I am really upset about the whole situation for him.

Now, today, we found out that his therapist that has been working with him is transferring jobs and will no longer be working with him. This is going to devastate him. My heart hurts for him already. I can't tell him, as she wants to. She just found out, but Friday will be her last day there. I am so worried this will be yet another set back for him. I am scared. I am nervous, and I am frustrated that I can't find the dang magic wand to make all of this go away for him. I wish I could be there when they told him, but, I can't.

Please keep him in special thoughts and prayers.

There have been no improvements over the last days, he does open his eyes from time to time but has no strength to communicate with them. His stroke caused bleeding in the brain, caused from high blood pressure. He is also diabetic and on dialysis 3 times a week. They are having a hard time giving him dialysis because the filter keeps clogging and he can not be given a blood thinner.Terri has not been home since he went to the hospital. We go out each day and do what needs to be done, feed the cats, get the mail and things. Thanks for the continued prayers. Sue

Worried about DH - please reassure me...

I'm not ruling anything in or out, but you may be onto something, Lori. Since this started, DH has found that he tolerates salad better than almost anything. I'm anxious to see what the doctor says Tuesday morning. DH is OK with me going because if doctors say anything more than two syllables long, he just tunes it out. And really -- do doctors know any words less than two syllables long? LOL! When DH saw his regular doc about this, he had the doc look at a growth on his temple. Doc sliced it off and sent it for biopsy. He called DH later and told him it wasn't cancer but it was "something else with a real long name" (according to DH). He told DH he could get "something with a real long name" to put on it. *sigh*

I can totally see why your new dil would go this route. I'm extremely shy and had a tiny wedding. It freaked me out walking down the isle in my big poofy dress. lol. Would never have had a big expensive wedding, couldn't afford it but that never appealed to me anyway. All that money spent for one day and most of those marriages don't last. If and when Lauren gets married, I think she will either pick a dark purple, black or red dress to walk down the isle...or something with polka dots. She's obsessed with polka dots. She also loves old fashioned dresses, from the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. If she even has a real wedding at all....

Wendy that is so sad, I read your blog about once a week, I sent it to my DD and she reads it also. I know it is hard for Tay to understand that things happen and it is not his fault or anything he did~~~Honey it just does not seem fair at times does it! I will be sending good thoughts your way.

I'm so sorry for both you and your son. I know that autistic kids need a good routine and have a tough time with change. Is it possible for you to take him out to do something fun in lieu of the reunion? A poor second, I know, but maybe it will help just a little. I don't know what to say about the change in therapist, (as if I would know! I'm just a bossy person who wishes she could help.) I do hope that person explains the situation to him ahead of time and helps introduce him to his new therapist. You've got lots of sympathy here.

As one who has worked with Authism...I say...unfortunately there is a big overturn. It is very draining. You can't help but love your clients. The backstage is dealing with the State and Boards. It puts so much stress on the Employee's that it is hard to handle the job that pays so very very little.

I'm sure there will be a very well intended loving person coming to Ty's aid. Unfortunately, as much as they don't like change they accept change as it comes gently.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. It will work out!

Wendy I am sending my prayers for strength to all of you to get through this and back on solid ground.

I do read your blog and enjoy sharing the journey with you. It reminds me not to sweat the small stuff - life is so precious. I too believe that God has a reason for our lives the way we are - our souls are learning in this life.

Again, I am sending positive thoughts and prayers your way to get back on track. LOL

Wendy I am so sorry that you and Tay have to get through another upheaval. I'm sending good thoughts that there is a silver lining hidden in these clouds.

I too have read your blog. I sometimes get a lump in my throat but the love I see in the pics shines through and brings a smile to my face especially those of Tay with his sister. How fortunate Tay is to have you and so many others that love and care about him so very much.With your love and support I know he will come through this.

As being a fellow mother of a son with Autism, all I can say is be the strong one. You have to help him through these disappointments in life. It isn't easy but you got to hold all your hurt inside and put on a brave face. They pick up the clues on how to act from you. That is what works with my son, but don't know if it will work with yours.
Best wishes.

Had to hop off too quick to respond last night but did pray that Tay manages to handles the changes OK along with his disappointment, and will love his new therapist.

I sincerely believe Austistic children are only given to VVSP's! (Very VERY Special People.)

God bless your family.
