Love That Max : When the worries go away
http://www.lovethatmax.com/2015/08/when-worries-go-away.html
A blog about kids with special needs who kick butt. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. When the worries go away. Max is sleeping like he usually does: On his side, one hand resting on a shoulder, the other curled beneath a pillow. There is no greater special needs parent therapy for me than watching him at rest. What about the fact that he. Wants to express himself by talking? Max's chewing is not progressing much—he mainly eats soft foods, crunchy or chewy ones aren't feasible because of chewing/oral-motor ...

Honey, I had a great pregnancy with Max and a great one with you! She doesn't mean physical health. That twinge I felt in my heart when she asked if I knew ...

That's become painfully clear, once again, with the recently released Shriver Report Snapshot: Insight into Intellectual Disabilities in the 21st Century. Also gratifying: 89% of Americans agree that calling someone with Down syndrome or autism a "retard" is offensive. They even find it offensive if the word is directed at a stranger who does something foolish. And ye...The w...

http://www.lovethatmax.com/2015/07/special-needs-parents.html
A blog about kids with special needs who kick butt. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. 10 emoticons for special needs parents. I haven't had a good night's sleep in approximately 10 years. Child did something for the first time and HOLY COW HE JUST DID THAT.

Had to deal with insurance company incompetency, once again. Having one of those grief spurts. Posted by Ellen Seidman.
