Day Two 3/27/13

I'm not so sure that I could handle another day like yesterday. It turns  that this was a bad day after all because one thing that James has to learn is that you cant go up and scare him anymore, but James went up to him and said BOO and Joshua cried for 5 minutes yelling that was loud daddy. I have had some people tell me that he does not have it and he is just a normally hyper active 3 yr old. Some of you saw the post that i posted yesterday and i seems that i offend some people well I am going to say this again I don't care who you are but if you don't like what i post then delete me now or don't read it. I could handle another day like yesterday. It turns  that this was a bad day after all because one thing that James has to learn is that you cant go up and scare him anymore, but James went up to him and said BOO and Joshua cried for 5 mins yelling that was loud daddy. I have had some people people tell me that is not autism and autism is not what it use to be it has so many different things that make it seem that way. And yes don't get me wrong some days Joshua is fine and does not show any signs he has it and other days its bad. Joshua use to be okay with the following things vacuums, dogs, loud noises, new people and change. and now he fears all those things but change is not one of them for sure. a while back and i am sure some of your remember but our oven quit working a while back as some of you offered to let me come use your oven to make dinner till they got it fixed and I appreciate that, however they came to look at my stove and could not fix it so when we got home they were replacing it with the one from across the hall that set Joshua off because he knew the people well that moved out that was his Kalea and it he saw it as her stove and he got upset, well just a few days that stove broke so they came with a new one and I had to explain to Joshua that it was going away. He helped clean the living room and kitchen and was okay with it until they got here to actually do it the new neighbors across the hall were great and tried to keep him over there but he knew what was going on and wanted to be there, as they were moving the other stove to put in the new one he started crying I ask the 2 guys to stop for a minute and then got down to Joshua's level and said Joshua they have to take it away they are giving us a new one so we can make cookies he said no that is my Kalea's stove and i need it I told him his Kalea's stove was not working anymore and they were giving us one that would work and so i asked him can they finish he said yes go finish so you can get out. the guys just looked at me for a minute and didn't do anything and i said he has a mild to serve case of autism and the guy who was putting the stove in said oh okay and said to Joshua buddy can i finish so i can get out of your house i want to finish hooking the stove to make sure it works because i don't want to give you one that you wont be able to make cookies in Joshua looked at him and laughed and said yeah. as they were leaving he said now say by to your Kalea's stove Joshua did and he then asked them what they were going to do with it the guy told him he was going to try an fix it but he may just have to throw it away. Joshua looked at him and said okay be nice to my Kalea's stove and said I will see you tomorrow. Because he has to come back to bring a bottom draw for the stove next door and an oven rack for us. Joshua still for a while seemed upset about the new stove and we went over to the neighbors house for dinner they invited us and he was being mean and rude was hitting the baby pushing him and was yelling and throwing his fit. we ate dinner and i gave him his medicines and within 20 minutes of James bringing him home he was out i was over at the neighbors talking to her about certain things and was there till about 1 am when I came home Joshua was awake screaming crying and was upset because he thought i had left him and was not coming back i got him calmed down and back to sleep and he was out by 2 am so we will see how tomorrow goes. Oh and I forgot he locked us out of the house for almost 2 hours today as he wanted to play outside and i told him later well that was his way of saying he was i guess. So we had to break in through the back door

Day One 3/26/13

Our Family has a lot going on right now and if I seem rude or short with anyone I am sorry, But we are starting a new unplanned journey in our lives that is going to create a lot of stress in our lives. Joshua is currently be tested for Autism and has failed the first test they did, they told me that 9 out of every 10 kids tested fail that test have some form of Autism, So during this time we need lots of support and prayers as this can be up to a 8 week process and long hours of testing. We are a strong believer in God will not give me anything we can not handle and he has been testing me a lot with this lately but its been going well so far, Just have to stay calm and strong and work on my patience skills and so does James and we will be good. Joshua has his good days and his bad days. Will keep everyone updated as we go along. Thanks everyone in advance for your concerns and support. I will try to post everyday but as i can not guarantee that i can or will, i will do my best. But this is day one after i talked with KU Medical Center and they told me that he did not pass the first test. this will be a long road as most of Joshua's life has been a long road in finding out why he has always been so sick. Joshua has many moods and one minute he will show all major signs of Autism when other days he acts like a normal hyper 3 yr old. Today is one of those days that he is showing them one minute he was watching Max and Ruby on Nick and the next minute and i said not a word to him or even touched him he looked at me grabbed my face and said i hate you mommy get away from me i just responded with but I love you Joshua he looked away and went back to the show. He has been in funky moods today and I don't think he remembers saying or doing some of the things he does. He over the last few months has become afraid of things he use to like, some are anything loud the TV has to be done low he has days where he wont let me vacuum he says its loud other days he will want to help vacuum. The process to continue the testing is on hold till all the paperwork is completed mine end of it is done now we are just waiting on the Dr and on the insurance company to say we can go head with the rest of the testing, could be a 7-8 week process the doctor should not take that long it will just be the insurance company that will be. But today is not a very good day for Joshua his moods are changing a lot today. Keep watching for more post
