I don’t know what happened. Alex was so bad that he now has several new (and rather awful) bruises from biting his arms and hands. He bit himself, then while holding the bite pulled his arm / hand away from his mouth as hard as he could. I’m amazed he didn’t take chunks out of his arm. Continue reading “We’ve hit a new low”

August 19th visit made up for it
Alex had a horrible visit yesterday evening. We wanted to repeat the Tuesday happiness and get some more pictures and video, but whatever fleeting happiness my little boy enjoyed on Tuesday was completely gone yesterday. We couldn’t even get him into the car to try to take him to a playground. He was hitting himself, screaming, and only for about five minutes did he smile any.

Alex updates – August 17th
It’s been a while since I had much to say about Alex’s situation. He’s been his usual self, on and off rage issues, and it’s just been hard to want to write much when his situation is only a little better than when he was at home. Continue reading “Alex updates – August 17th”
A rougher week than usual
Alex’s previous few visits have been very hit and miss. I’m not sure if something new is bothering him, but on the 4th, he had a very rough time with me. (I wrote the previous update before my visit, so it looks as though his weekend was great, which unfortunately was not the case) Continue reading “A rougher week than usual”
Updates – July 4th
The past couple weeks have been pretty darn good as far as visiting Alex. The whole family was up for a while (still preparing for the move, but they visit when they can), and because of the extra support, we were able to have Alex visit our home instead of just going to visit him in his.

Alex updates – June 13th
This week was all over the place. As I mentioned last time, I started my new job and have been able to visit Alex a bit. Unfortunately, his Thursday and Saturday weren’t nearly as good as Tuesday. He was hurting himself both days, and needed his helmet again. I brought him a burger yesterday and he barely touched it – this was a key part of prior visits, as he loved the burgers and we were able to count on making him a bit happier by offering him a little treat.
