A neurologist and a wonderful staff at Childrens Hospital Took in Cully and Mum for a night. In just minutes the staff informed mom that Cully was not just having the handful of seizures that we were observing but rather a great amount more. The findings sound horrible but knowing what is wrong with our Cully is a positive step. Cully is now on medications for his seizures and we are aggressively searching for help to teach us how to best take care of him and teach us more about autism.
Mum has had Cully involved in several programs for some time now to better help Cully. These programs are for Mum as well as she is always trying to learn more in respect of child development and care, something she has always held an interest in. Upon returning home from the hospital we were greeted with a new visiting speech therapist in our driveway. An appointment we failed to remember. An Angel as I later learned. Seems our new visiting therapist has a wonderful background in children with special needs. It is her particular interest and she is currently working on a certificate in the field of autistic children.
Now that we know what is going on we can move forward. And now we can learn to understand Cully even better. Cully is laying down for the night right now with Mum. Just a few moments ago he had gotten into a bathroom and ate toothpaste, ate a crayon, sent a few random emails and made a few calls on my smart phone and even moved the picnic table across the kitchen to the mouth of the hallway and tilted it up somewhat so that he could better move it down the hall. Just normal Cully stuff. In the middle of it all he smiled, laughed and jumped on the bed with me. Another good day.
