I do not know if this would work for you

My little kiddo that I am working with this year is on Facebook. I do not see that the profile is private. I did follow it. There are almost four hundred followers. Not bad for our little community. It has been so helpful for me to see what his needs and activities are outside of home. His mom shares pictures and day to day events. Sharing our beautiful life as a special needs family Romans 12:12 . IQSEC2 Genetic Disorder Autism LGS & Epilepsy . I do not think I can put up his personal information because of confidentiality, but if you want to read about the genetic disorder, this was helpful to me. LGS is Lennox Gastault Syndrome. It has to do with multiple types of seizures. Mom says at one point our kiddo had so many meds he just wanted to sleep and that is all. He became very grumpy. When she expressed concern to the neurologist the response was (my paraphrase) " Maybe since we have his seizures under control you can now see what his personality is really like". That is not what this little boy's personality is really like. He is fun and funny and alert and laughs a lot. He loves to have you hold under his arms and help him jump. Mom is moving in a different direction, and although he still has seizure medications they have brought the levels down. She is giving him supplemental nutrition and the type of seizures we see is something they call "infantile spasms" that do not affect his levels of consciousness or functioning. He is a delightful, active child who laughs loudly and enjoys being at school with his friends. He bears weight when asked to stand. He is not grumpy, he is not sleepy. I admit, sometimes he needs to rest, but the amount of energy he spends just on day to day life would make me need to rest as well. When I think I feel sorry for myself I have to think in awe about this little family and my other kiddo as well. How much effort it must take to just be the parent and always be on guard of his health and well being. I think that is all I can legally share, but that is who I spend four mornings a week with.
