by
Joeymom
As we embark upon the Holiday Season, I am glad to report that we are, for the most part, quiet here. Joey has had normal ups and downs, and is working well with his speech therapist, Ms. Leslie. Still no word about OT, but that's OK for now, because I am still trying to pay off their bill that I thought was paid long ago, and I still have no clue ...

Carrie Ostrea
It has been a rough couple of months. I still feel like we aren’t anywhere close to being settled in this new “special needs parenting” life.

by
annhertel
I'm not too sure what is up with me today... but man, I am feeling like dookie, yesterday too. It's like my energy has been zapped and I am a rag doll without structure. I'm feeling like some mix between being exhausted, half-dizzy, half-disoriented, half-zoned out, and then I have half-manic-stress/semi-paranoid crap in my head. My hands are kinda ...

What’s the big deal? It’s just a young primate…
by
bluesilk
One of my posts contained, completely incidentally and for no particular reason, a picture of, hmm, how do I phrase it, a young tango-coloured member of the ape family. Consequently, this post has had loads of hits due to people searching for “tango-coloured animal” and “the miniature ones of the previous variety”. I have ...
