This is a good article to read about Sensory Processing Disorder. Galen has it, but isn't officially diagnosed with it.

I meant to include in the last post that I imagine a few people, at the very least, want to know why we were asking for donations to help build a swing and a sensory board for Galen, yet I could afford to have surgery during that time. The answer is quite simple: Medicaid paid for the entire surgery based on the diagnosis of "nasal blockage".

We're currently working on the sensory board. Mazzu says my thoughts that we could get it and the swing done over the weekend is way off. He wants to spend around a month researching the best stuff to buy and use to make the swing as safe as possible. I agree with that reasoning. The sensory board is under way as of tonight. We bought the board last night to go along with all the sensory stuff we bought. The board is drying and will be cut in half before we start adding stuff to it. It's far easier to make stuff while the kids are asleep or somewhere else.

Tomorrow we're taking the kids to a Homeschooling Group park day, assuming they wake up in a good mood. Flint tried to climb into the car as soon as I told her we were going to the park tomorrow.
