We adopted a very awesome dog called Galaxy. galaxy has really been a blessing. She's very sweet, smart, and forces us to go for walks which reduces stress and anxiety as well as allows for time to forget about our troubles.
Family dog walks are fun. As far as chaos goes, an almost 4 year old is way more messy and destructive than a dog. She is G's snuggle buddy and constant companion. She loves him, and he loves her. She even helps him socialize. He practices social skills on her. "Hi Galaxy!"
A lot has happened. In early February, we saw the NP that from the autism center, and she determined that we should rule out Neurofibromatosis as he has a lot of cafe au lait spots (I do, too, but I am pretty sure I ruled out) and they are looking for any abnormalities that could be causing his autism. He also had some genetics blood drawn. We are looking forward to learning more about G and the ways we can help him.
PECS are a must in school, or a rigid routine.
He had a bout with pneumonia in January but he's doing better.
I am exhausted.
So, more later...
