Our Amazing Alex

   Our Alex is truly Amazing!!  Over the past few months he has been making such strides and really overcoming the odds.  We have so many people helping our Alex and I truly couldn't be more grateful.  Our family truly is grateful for our family, friends, church family, medical family, school family and rehabilitation family.  Three weeks ago we began an autism medication for Alex and we saw great progress.  We visited the doctor this past week and he added another medication for Alex and the difference has been AMAZING!!!
  Potty Training has been such a hard thing for Alex and I am scared to announce it, but I think we are there!!  This past week I worked on a 10 lb weighted blanked for Alex's sensory issues and I am happy to say that not only does he love it, but it is really helping him out here at home.  
Alex's speech is truly coming along and he is not only learning a lot, but we are learning a lot about him.  He has really been sharing a lot about himself such as personality and sense of humor!
As we sat in church today for our Primary Presentation Alex was given the opportunity to go between the stand and our church pew.  I don't think I have cried so much in church as when my Alex went to the stand today and not only stood during the song Search Ponder and Pray, but he was singing along.  How grateful I am for the prayers, love and support from everyone that loves our Amazing Alex.  As we continue to "Go to Work" (rehabilitation, speech, school, OT) I am excited to watch our Alex continue to grow into himself!
