Life, it goes way to fast!!!

Well, life has definitely caught up with me over he last few weeks. We have had Easter and Birthdays, parades, discos and school teacher interviews and a few really difficult days with the kids and a car that seems intent on driving me absolutely crazy!

To sum it up, I have been so busy with everything I haven’t even had a chance to return phone calls let alone get online. Unfortunately this has also meant that’s my time on steemit has been zero! Which stinks! Steemit is my place to vent and share and learn and relax and I have missed it immensely over the last few weeks.

So I made myself a promise tonight. I’m going to grant myself some me time, even if it’s only a few minutes, but I’m taking it. I feel completely out of the loop and as I use steemit to help keep track of events in my own life I realised that so much has happened and I have no record of the weekly events written down. This is my biggest regret for not making time here.

So I thought that tonight I would do a little recap of the last few weeks and then over the next couple of days I plan to go into more detail.

My last post covered our continued struggles with Master 5. As I mention in that post, he had been having some serious muscle regression and was basically back at the start if not further regressed than when we started our Autism journey. So we went for the CT scan and have received the results. They were all clear. That was a high relief and a huge concern all in one.

It was fantastic that he didn’t have anything as serious as a tumour or a degenerative disease. However it has left us with the question, What is going on? This is still a work in progress, although I am happy to let everyone know that he is improving, little by little the good days are starting to outnumber the bad.

On top of Master 5 we were also in the process of getting Master 10 onto some medication to help with his anxiety and his general mood. There is nothing worse than seeing your child miserable and depressed everyday, stuck in their own little world. It has now been 4 weeks since starting his medication and although we still haven’t figured the exact amounts, the improvement has been fantastic. He is smiling again. He is not nearly the same boy he was 3 years ago, but he is definitely on the road.

As for the car, well, she is on her last legs, we are going to keep her alive until tax time and then with some intense saving over the next few months and my end of year return, replace her with something a lot more reliable. Until then we are incredibly lucky to have a friend who runs his own mechanic shop and he gets us back on the road until the next issue pops up. He has been a life saver!!!

We of course also celebrated Easter and the children are all currently on school holidays, which has been a whirlwind of activities and family catch ups which I will fill you all in on over the next few posts.

As for tonight I am going to have to finish this up as someone is turning 13 years old in the morning and I have a very long day ahead of me. In typical teenage style, Miss 12 has refused a birthday party and opted for a day of shopping with her girl friends. So I will be chaperoning seven 13 year olds around a huge shopping centre for several hours tomorrow, god help me, I am gonna need a lot of coffee.

As always thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Until next time.
