My Little Man!

Yesterday was a true blessing! My little man was what I remember before the autism wrapped his life in chaos! He was laughing and playing with Daddy and wasn't getting frustrated. My heart just melted!

The afternoon visitation went really well, David and Daddy played ping pong and David ran around outside. When we returned that evening for visitation he was still such a happy boy and Sydney, his wonderful charge nurse, said that he had a really awesome day. Unfortunately she didn't know how tired the risperdal was going to make him so she didn't give it to him at 5 like he was suppose to get it so I asked her to please go up and get it because he did fine the night before and wasn't too tired to visit. She went and got it immediately but he was getting it an hour and 15 minutes later than he was suppose to.

The evening visit went really well with David and Daddy playing basketball and dodge ball outside and then some ping pong again inside. That was when we started to notice David getting frustrated and a bit angry, but didn't get violent. The risperdal from the previous evening had worn off and the new one hadn't kicked in yet. So we definitely know that he must get his new medicine at the exact time every day. He started calming down again and we went up to give him his shower. He did really well and we had to leave when snack time began. David was already starting to get sleepy so we knew he would be in bed soon after.

I really look forward to our visit today!
