Day to Day Struggles

Yesterday Galen dragged me outside. We were outside for around an hour before he started to run into the street. He was doing a good job listening and staying safe.

Today, we went outside again. He managed another hour or so (guesstimate) and Galen did really well again. He only ran into the street once.

This week Galen's had 2 pull up poopy explosions, requiring us to have to shower him. I was trying to get him re-accustomed to the bathroom, so he wouldn't scream his head off. It was starting to work, but then he had another explosion today (the second one), and that made it a lot worse. :( We also showered Flint (in the hopes that maybe Galen would associate that he wasn't the only one forced to have one) and she was screaming too. I wish I could fix their worries.

I'm really hoping to get Galen and Flint balance bikes. I think it'd help Galen and Flint would plain love one. I tried to get Galen to play on his push trike thing he got for his birthday but he wouldn't, so I put Flint on it. Oh how she loved it! Didn't even move her since she can't balance herself completely yet, but she loved it.



It made me feel happier. Today had been a pretty big downer. I'd had no success with anything. The SSI appointment was the only thing that even worked, but it's not until the end of June. That was the earliest appointment available. We couldn't get into the therapy place until they get a referral from us. We're still waiting on a referral for so many other things. But, eventually it will start to help. I'm sure of it.

Someone on FB suggested this website to me and it looks really cool (for whenever we have money again): funandfunction.
