Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that affects 1 in 150 children, more often boys then girls. There is no cure, but with faith, hope and love for our precious children we can stand strong and help our childrent to recover.

Why we're saving Chase

In June of 2003 Chase was diagnosed with Autism. It has been a long journey trying to "bring him out" we recently have researched and started a plan of new treatments. Our trials, errors, laughs and tears are posted within these pages.

The End of Today

Well I forgot to mention that Chase came home sick from school today, atleast I think I did, anyways his teachers note said he had a runny nose at school and by the time he got home his eyes were red, nose red and running, and he had developed a small cough. He is in bed now, the only down fall to everything is nothing is safe for him anymore, there is so much junk in childrens medicines that he can't have any of it, tomorrow I am going to go to the health food store and find a homeopathic remedy for him and get some Olive Leaf Extract and some Vitamin C. I am so tired of him being sick, he is bringing something home atleast everyother week, then I get it and then Trinity gets it. No one else does so I guess that tells me something. I knew my immune system was getting bad and Trinity has been sick on and off most of her short life. I have so far kept to my new years resolutions and I have been pop and candy bar free, and recently I stopped drinking coffee in the morning, now I drink hot green tea through out the day. I also force myself to do atleast 30 minutes of cardio atleast 3 times a week bare minimum. I still have bad days but that is lack of sleep and stress from handling all the parenting on my own. It isn't Chris's fault by any means, he is our rock, but he works alot to support us. They just cut his hours again at Circuit City and if they don't go back up he will have to start Hungry Howies again. We miss him and it is always a party when he gets home from work. I offered to go back to work and we could share the work load in the home and outside the home but he said he didn't think he could do it at home that I could keep my "job" here at home. Little does he know I know that he would be a wonderful teacher for our children (we homeschool) especially at math because he is so good at mental math I think that would be a great benefit for Calista. So at the end of today we managed to get Chase's first dose of GSE, have his first nasty poop, and put him to bed without melatonin (only cause he is sick, and he is in my bed not his own) I have to prepare for tomorrow even though Chase isn't going to school I still have to be up at 7am so I can get the house clean, get ready for the contractors to come, and get ready for Spencer's teacher to come. A lot tomorrow. Right now I am going to sign off and go play some guitar hero before Chris gets in there, I know I am a loser but it is fun and a great stress reliever for me. Its okay you can make fun of me.
