Sorry to hear that Brett, but from one dad to another...I know what you're going through. Everyday is a learning experience as a parent and husband. As for the sleepless nights, for sure man...I just found out that I'm not getting my next two checks due to some lost Army gear. It eats at me wondering how I'm going to provide for my family.

Thanks Randy and I appreciate that a lot! Sorry to hear about the money situation that sucks dead bears! Don't let your pride create a situation, if it starts to get too tight let me know and I will help financially as much as I can! Always happy to help and it's more important to keep the lights on and food on the table so let me know if I can help!!

Stay strong and wishing you and your family the best Brett. Becoming a father was and is the most fearful and stressful times of my life. Feeling the love they have for you will never change. Be the best father and husband you can be

Thanks for sharing that Brett. I hope you find some answers soon. I agree with what Ken says, sounds like he is frustrated at not being able to communicate the way he wants to. I know boys also tend to start talking later, so maybe it'll come. But obviously you, and Amanda, and his doctors know and see more. Best of luck and please post updates as you learn more!

Thanks Ken and Kelly, I agree with that and it's what we've been operating under for a while now but with the lack of change we are having him tested for any and all possibilities so it's not an autism specialist but rather an early intervention specialist for physical, emotional and developmental challenges. Hope it ends up being nothing and suspect it may but the unknown until then is scary for sure. Thanks for the support all I truly appreciate it as does Amanda thank you!!

Ditto. And of course, I'll be glad and privileged to add you and yours to my prayer list. Reading this thread really cements how fortunate I feel to have stumbled on this forum of caring and kind people! What a wonderful and warm family this forum has created!

My heart goes out to you guys. My little guy exhibits a lot of the same issues, albeit he is little tiny dude. My sister is an executive director of an Autism non-profit, so if it turns out he gets that diagnosis I can put you in touch for some support. We've found a lot of success with sign language he seems to pick that up really well even though he doesn't really speak. It has helped a lot with his frustration.

Sorry to hear this Brett. Prayers for strength for you and your family.

That's a great tradition and one I hope to have one day as well! I hope that you get some good news on the 3rd, but Cael will enjoy a great life no matter what, I'm sure! Praying it goes well, and you get some answers and direction. I'm sure it's tough, but sounds like he's got great parents!

jimmyv723

That was a very thoughtful and generous gift from Rick and what a very cool tradition as well. Hopefully everything is good news and some kids just end up being late bloomers. He sounds like a great kid though and you can tell he has a great Mom and Dad and it's easy to see how proud you are. You've definitely got all of us on here sending good thoughts your way.

Prayers for Cael Amanda and you Brett. God watches over his children, even if it's in the form of doctor's and specialist's.

All you have to do is love, support, and guide him. Sounds like you already know and do that. It won't always be fun, it won't always be easy. Stay strong brother! Thanks for posting...prayers sent.
