Hi, Everyone.....Beth... I just checked and it would be an 8 hr drive for

me....over 500 miles. That's a bit too far. Please go and share with the rest

of us what you learn and any highlights you feel may be helpful to us.

Take care, Everyone.

Yes, add this to our once upon a time from our chapter life of having

to go through this too.

Too many times had to get up and leave or embarrassed or upset that we

could not have a life anymore.

Once in a blue moon one of those moments will kick in but at least I

can step back and figure out how to work around it and still have my

son still included on some occasions.

It really depends if it is worth it to have him around some type of

exposure that to me is challenging enough if I would go through some

drama with him or why put him through something he does not have any

connection or undergo feeling some type of being overwhelmed.

Like if we go to the mall, it has to about him, in & out on whatever

we went for and probably throw in a lunch date, eating at the food court.

If visiting some friends or family have to have his sensory items or

his personal DVD player with his favorite movies of the week.

Yesterday we spent some time with my dh's brother for a birthday

gathering. We were able to actually enjoy eating at a Chinese

restaurant, then headed over to my BIL's house and he knew exactly

what to do, he went straight over to the room that his Uncle has set

up for him after he followed some of the routines given, like restroom

first then watch his movie, given a choice if we wanted to hang out

with us or of course to watch his DVD of the day. Giving him choices

even if we knew exactly what he was going to choose but it was having

him to engage in some form of communication form, giving him that

power not us telling him what to do.

My husband and I were able to enjoy our time, playing some dominions,

visit and watch a cute show (Barn something with a catchy tune) with

their about 9 month old granddaughter.

Back at the restaurant though had to share this,

This time it was their turn while waiting at the restaurant, the baby

could not sit still, was up and down then if one of them carried her,

she would get mad or throw herself, etc.

Of course we all spoke about how we use to go through this for

numerous of years. Babies daddy said, call him when we ended up

getting set up at the table as he was taking her to the vehicle to

watch her favorite DVD.

I looked over at and he just gave me a smile, then we were

seated, baby and her daddy are back but baby decides she is a little

thrown off from her routine, so she is not hungry and begins to throw

things or food given to her. I could see how her parents were getting

to feel frustrated, so of course we all helped with what we could and

we all survived it.

But this left me thinking, could this be the age or mentality level

was undergoing, stuck in for numerous of years? At at an age

range of a 9-10 month old level, hmm. Meaning still developing here.

Back at my BIL's house.

While was settled, baby roaming around and of course let her

be, then I noticed her parents (my niece & her dh) were getting

frustrated once again, so of course Great-auntie (me) just told

everyone that I had to watch her favorite show with the catchy tune,

sure enough once she heard the music, she was smiling, dancing, and

then sat down, then her parents seemed relief and everyone had joined in.

Then the show was over, it was near her bedtime, so it was my time to

go and check on but actually his dad did, to see if he wanted

to join us, he said " no " . Then we went back into mingling and then

when his movie was over, he was ready to join us.

Hi Beth,

I'm sorry that is still suffering. Are you giving him Miralax 2 x day? I

would definitely call the doc, he must just be feeling awful.

Keep us posted,

Jayne
