This summer is going way to quickly and yet not quick enough, next week Jerid will be starting his summer camp at Camp Friendship/Eden Wood. Though it is day camp it's when I miss him being around and yet gets me geared up for the school time schedule. Jerid just recently had his neurology appointment, discovered his condition is called Cortical Dysplasia, he will be having more testing in August to account to his relatively new behaviors, to see if they are started in the brain or if they are caused by stress, or maybe stemming from his autism. All I know is I'm most likely have more questions then answers. I do know since this official diagnosis I have been doing research on my own, realizing how lucky my son is, my heart goes out to those who have to deal with far more then behaviors on a daily basis. I am still frustrated that this diagnosis wasn't brought to my attention until recently, I guess it's better late then never. I digress.
In other news my nephew Justin had come up from Florida for a week, and we had a great time reconnecting with him, the picture above was us playing Lord of the Rings Risk, we have missed seeing him and hearing his voice. He's been working hard in his studies and kicking butt in college, as much as we miss him, we are so proud of the man he has become.
In other news, my Justin has taken up a wood working apprenticeship, which only started last week. so far so good. He is also gearing up to work as a Leprechaun Pirate at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival.
As for me, same old, same old. Knitting, crochet, a little of this, little of that. I will update as soon as I know more about Jerid's diagnosis.
Thanks for reading.
