Why can’t I be like Allison DuBois?
I don’t really want dead people to visit me and try to avenge their own murders or anything like that, but I WOULD love to be able to figure out what’s making my son ill today. The boy’s been vomiting since he woke up this morning and I’m scratching my head – everyone else is absolutely fine and healthy!
Pablo’s progressed to where he speaks pretty well, but he’s still really not verbal enough to tell me what hurts, whether or not he ate something he shouldn’t have, or even if he’s feeling a little bit better. This is by far the most frustrating thing about autism – not being able to communicate back and forth when it’s extra important.
Poor punk! He’s playing with Legos, so maybe we’re on the up and up!

Questions? Just

If my swiss cheese memory serves me well…did you do brush therapy with Pablo? Do you still do it, or is it more of an “as needed/if needed” thing? We just started it with Zachary, it has made a HUGE difference with his behaviors! I just forget to do it every two hours (yeah right!).

Poor little man.

I’m so sorry! I hope he gets feeling better. And I love Allison.

Hope he’s feeling better soon. Whenever the boys are vomiting I use Florastor (probiotic) and it really helps them get better fast! Hugs!
