update on liam's life:
~liam is the happiest kid i have ever met.
he has all of his emotions, he has great eye contact, he sings his ABC's and old macdonald perfectly. he pushes his sister when he's mad and uses strong words to express his feelings.
this kid will amaze you...he is one of a kind and if you get the pleasure of being a part of his life then you are pretty darn blessed.
supplements/ special diet: $400/mo
therapy $800/mo
hearing your kid say with his own words that he "bonked his toe" PRICELESS!

Hey Heather...
Love your post....lots of info - which mom's of autistic kids learn to gather quickly.
I have a Masters in psychology and worked for an autistism therapy program in Alabama - it was subsidized by the University of Alabama...and we worked with underpriviledged autistic kids.
Then, when I moved to atlanta, I started working for the Lovaas clinic doing ABA. I worked for 3 families and loved it.
It's been years since I have done any work, but i have a heart for autism...I just LOVED the kids I worked with.
Anyways, just wanted you to know that I KNOW it is hard work and constant "answer" seeking AND expensive... and it looks like y'all are on the right track to getting Liam ALL the help he needs.
You must be exhausted.

Wow, I just have to say again that I think you're amazing and doing an incredible job managing all this extra stuff! It's hard enough work being a mommy to a pre-schooler! Liam is so blessed to have you and Tim as his parents. We're praying with you for a complete recovery!
The picture of Liam is fantastic! Great post. Let's get together!
