It's that time of year again. The weather is changing and when this happens I know that my Baby Boy will soon have another Birthday. It is so hard to believe that in a short 3 weeks, Max will be 3 years old! The other day I was looking back through old blog posts and pictures....it makes me sad to think of how fast He is growing. He has changed in so many ways through this past year. This year is going to be a little different for us. When Max turns 3 He will transition to a classroom that is designed to help children with Autism. I have many many emotions that I have dealt with about the whole classroom setting. I know that it will be good for Him in so many ways, but as his Mom I worry about Him. We did get to go and visit the classroom and the Teacher. While there He had his evaluation and I think we were all pretty impressed with how He did! I am anxious for this change for Him because I believe it will be a great thing but, I could really use your prayers. Please pray for an easy transition, that He will accept the change better than what we would ever hope. This is one of my biggest fears for Him.
I have been thinking alot about what the Lord would want me to do for Max and ways that we can help Him. Last week I was talking with Halle's teacher about Max and she gave me a hug and said "Amanda the Lord knows who to give those special children to, He knew that you would take great care of Max." Those words mean more than you will ever know. I thank the Lord often for giving me the patience I need to get through each and every day. We have great and wonderful days and they far out weigh the bad but we do have those days where I don't know what to do. But He always gets us through. We are making it day by day...
In Max's short 3 years of life, He has brought us great joy and has taught me so much. My priorities have changed so much. Life is different but it is a good different. I am so Thankful that he is my Son!
So here we are yet again at a new Season of our life...We appreciate all of your Prayers!

Wednesday, September 1, 2010
On Monday the last thing that the Dr. said to me before we got off the phone was "Amanda we are going to get your Son better". This was wonderful to hear. To hear that he is confident in Max's healing. It is so wonderful to have a Dr. supporting you!
Like I said Before, I know that some may think that this is all craziness! I know that some are going to look at me like I am foreign But I am standing my ground. I have everything written on paper and in my hands. Max's therapists were nothing short of amazing, listening and sympathizing with the new information handed to us. His Special Instructor Said "Amanda, I don't think that you are crazy and it makes me look at issues in a whole new light". She thinks that Max has so much potential!
Max's OT was extremely intrigued about everything. She has told me from the start that Max is like no other child she has ever seen. That Max has all his skills but something is holding Him back. Well little did we know that in the huge packet I received about all of Max's Blood, Urine and Stool samples, we found a HUGE piece of information. A side effect to having Low Beneficial Bacteria is a wide range of Food Sensitivities and Textures. She was amazed to hear all of this. From the start we knew that Max had all the oral skills to eat but we couldn't figure out why he wasn't. Things are slowly starting to fit together.
Over the Year and a half Max has had therapy we have created a great friendship with his therapists. They are so great with Max. His OT is insistent that we keep in contact with her because she wants to know how Max is progressing on his different Supplements.
I do have a very exciting update. Today we received all of Max's Supplements and Vitamins. I was very skeptical on how he would react to taking them. I quickly learned what to put them in whether it be his Food or in his Milk. The Pro Bio Gold, Vitamin D and Cod liver oil is given once a day in 3 different Milk Cups. The Super NuThera is mixed with applesauce. This went so much better than I ever expected. He took everything without even a flinch! I am so proud of Him!
