I can't sleep. It could be that ate a shit ton of jelly beans but that's besides the point. I just have so much on my mind. My son has his first physiatrist appointment first thing I the morning. He's been battling depression for a couple years now however his father always used a more holistic approach. I myself believe that my should have been in therapy when my father passed away but alas we are here. So first thing in the morning we see Dr. Kahn. I've never met this doctor but I've done my research. Anyway my son is scared and so am I. I know that he is depressed but we just don't know how bad. He has had it rough for the last couple years. My father, whom he was very close to, passed away. Three years later his great-grandfather passed away. Then his father has embraced his step-son and left his son behind. So my son came home to me in January. It's been interesting to say the least. So many doctor appointments for so many things. CAT scan. MRI scan. Many therapy sessions and now a physiatrist. I hoping that this appointment will do the trick. Find out what if anything is wrong with my baby boy. I know he's almost grown (he's 17) but I worry like he's a baby.
This guy. What can I do I say about this wonderful man. I start by saying...Happy birthday, son. I can't express how blessed I am to have been chosen to be your mother. What a honor it is for me to raise such a fine human being. Thank you. I marvel at all you do and everything you have accomplished in the 22 years you've been.on this planet. School. Work. Friends. Family. You would take your own shirt off your back to help your fellow brother. I admire you for that. Your work ethic puts others to shame. Showing everyone that Autism isn't going to stand in your way. I stand all amazed by you. My hero. My love. My Son. Have the happiest of birthday my sweet boy. Forever and beyond ❤
I hope things work out for you and your son…you both have been through a lot…may this new year be one of healing and love..xo
