Liam's sleeping, Joshua's watching Mickey Mouse in the living room.
I'm attempting a quick entry just to keep this up to date. I really do want to do more day to day journaling, but right now it's so hard.
Tonight I have an appointment with the pediatrician for both kids to be seen. Liam's is only really because he's just about 14 months now, and hasn't been seen since 6 months. Joshua's is obviously to discuss our findings through the therapies, and discuss where/what/how to do next.
I was hoping to have the ADOS testing done BEFORE we saw the pedi, it was SUPPOSED to be last week. They moved it to TOMORROW, though.
Also, I need to make a note to mention that I've noticed Joshua seeming to make involuntary facial/mouth movement lately, mostly when he's watching something, and not engaged WITH someone. Not that he engages WITH people all that much, but he does interact.
And, to note, I need to ask the doctor about possible dairy intolerances with Liam -- every time he has milk or yogurt, his arms and legs break out in bumps -- almost acne-like bumps, not red or discolored, but definitely BUMPY.
And, we will also discuss vaccines tonight. I rarely bring up controversial topics like this, but it's been weighing on me heavily lately, and NOT just because of the possible link out there to autism and vaccines, but moreso, just in my research of what's IN vaccines and how they're made. Joshua is fully vaccinated through the 2 year old shots, and Liam has only had up to his 6 month vaccines. He IS due for quite a few tonight, but I am ONLY willing to accept the Hib and the PCV right now -- and only if they are aluminum free. I'm not going into all of my reasons, anyone who wants to can do research to find out what THEY think, i'm NOT here to persuade ANYONE. This is just what i'm deciding is right for US. Of course, if you want to directly discuss with me, i'm more than willing. But i'm not here to argue, either. Only educate myself on the subject and ask that other people educate THEMSELVES, too.
So, tonight's going to be a doozy of a visit, i'm assuming.
Not to mention, i'm SICK.
Josh is working a TON, yet still we have no money. Bank account goes negative EVERY week.
We're currently on hiatus with our etsy shop. I refunded the last of the orders and am not offering anything in the shop right now. I put it in a status in our FB page and put our email to not receive incoming mail. Kinda sad about that. But we just can't handle it right now.
I've gained weight and i'm depressed.
