My Son…

Recently my future hubby and I received diagnosis results for our son. Last year at my son’s two year appointment we received guidance from his pediatrician to start his developmental delay journey. He was not saying enough words and was showing some sensory concerns.

We were in agreement with getting his process started because we want him to get all the help he needs. This process included a lot of evaluations and he started therapies. Our schedules are extremely busy so adding therapies and evaluations to our life took a lot of sacrifice.

This process has tested us as parents and as a couple. We are forced to feel growing pains. Our son is like a sponge and he feels all of our energy and that matters for him. So we are constantly adjusting and learning how to make him feel safe and loved.

Being pregnant while going through this journey showed me that I can do anything I put my mind too. With God helping me I got so much done. I learned a lot and will never forget the attitude adjustments I had to endure.

We got his results back this year and we now know that our son is on the autism spectrum. During this time we grew in our faith. We started praying more together as a family. We became more transparent with each other and my bonus kids.

Our journey has just begun. One thing I have learned is the autism community is amazing. The level of support we have received from other parents on this journey is heart warming. I am constantly embraced by other moms and families that have been through this journey. The positivity that we have received from doctors is unmatched.

God is fully in control of our sons life. We know that he will do great things. We are happy to have a son like him and we can’t wait to see what God has in store.
