It's been awhile since I last wrote anything... Life has been busy... More busy than usual. I can't keep up. The next few months its going to be doctor's appointment after doctors appointment for Jon... So much stuff, not enough time.

A few weeks ago I for a call from the clinic that is going to be doing the Asperger syndrome evaluation. I knew had had to have a few appointments but I didn't realize he had to have a speech evaluation and a neurological evaluation as well. So she gave me the phone numbers to different places. I have the neurological eval setup for March 17. I just took him yesterday for his speech eval. I guess it went well.

He did very well, she said he ask very adult questions, he scored well on everything. She said he finished the test quicker than any kid has in a very long time. He only got one question wrong. She said most kids can't even finish the test. She said based on what she noticed he could have Asperger syndrome but he might have ADHD. So it's kinda 50/50 but she said she only plays a small roll into the diagnosis of this. Next is the neurological eval as I said before on March 17, then on March 21 I go in and talk with the actual Dr (just me, not Jon) and I go over all these forms I have to fill out. Which reminds me I got to do that. Then on March 28 he goes to meet with the Dr. And April 22 we get our results back.

I also have other appointments, I have a denist appointment on Tuesday, then Wednesday Jon has therapy. Then March 7 he meets with his other Dr... Never ending appointment...

This Saturday is his Karate tournament in Ohio. We leave Friday and will be back Sunday.

I also took him to his soccer eval yesterday; his first practice is March 9. So my life is so busy, I have work, and school for myself, I have Jon and his school stuff, plus his karate and now soccer too.... I will never have a free day I feel. But if it makes Jon happy I got to do it, he is all I have and I am all he has really...
