It's Almost School Time!

Hello all-
Well I am finally back up and running again after my back surgery. And ready! Ben is doing absolutely fabulous. He is talking more and more every single day. It is nearly every day that he will say things that make me say, "I didn't know he knew that word". Last night he slipped on the wet tile and said, "It's slick." hmm...

On another note I had an appointment with the doctor in Austin. He is fabulous. He is obviously an expert on autism and had a new book come out in July. His prices are outrageous (I'm embarrased to even tell you how much), and isn't covered by insurance, but I think it's going to be worth it. He is starting Ben on the drug Diflucan to kill any yeast that may be in his body (a test we did revealed he had high yeast levels). We will be finished by the time school starts, which is good because we could see some behaviour issues during die-off.

Ben's school is finalized, he will be going to Leaps Preschool at OU Health Sciences Center. He will get speech therapy there as well. He will go three mornings a week. We are so excited about this opportunity and think Ben will do so well there. There will only be 9 kids in his class, and about 5 teachers/aides. Amazing! He starts in a few weeks.

Can you believe it's almost fall? Can you believe Brandy will be 30 next week? After having back surgery, I am especially feeling old!!! :)
