Another Little Rock trip...

Today was a follow up for Skipper with his neurologist. We LOVE her. She is great and she LISTENS!!! I know that may sound odd, but really, I have found that a doctor who listens to what you are saying is a true God send.

Another visit...a few more diagnosis. We have now been officially labeled Tourette's Plus! Sounds like we have won something great! 

---Skipper come on down...you have Tourette's Plus. Now not only does you body get to jerk and move beyond your control, we are going to add a heap of OCD! Yes that's right, now you will obsess over things that are beyond your control. To add to all that, we are going to throw in a dash of ADHD. Wait, we not done yet, to top it off, we are going to throw in a free helping of explosive behavior! Congrat's Skipper, you are the lucky owner of Tourett's Plus...thanks for playing!! Void where prohibited. Winner must pay applicable sales tax....

I hope you get the humor there.  Sometimes I have to try to find the funny in it all... He has so much going on and really does keep a fairly good sense of humor about it.  My favorite is when he says "TIC" when we are in the middle of doing something and he needs a minute to get it all out! Just not something that you hear from people that often!

Last week we took the kids to Celebration City and Silver Dollar City...what better place to take kids with sensory issues and anxiety??! Skipper rode a good size roller coaster with me and poor thing..it is actually hard to tic when you are strapped into a roller coaster seat! He gave it a good try though! Then he began to worry about the safety of the ride and expressed MANY concerns about the cars falling off the track or parts just breaking. Kind of takes the fun out of the ride when you  are dealing with all that. Other than that...we had a great time!

It is late here and I am off to bed...may God's grace shine upon you!!
