Update

Just a small update on Dylan!  He is doing amazing!  We have had so many good days these past couple months, minus destroying 3 bathrooms in 5 minutes the other night(toothpaste, soap, toothbrush down sink, etc.), and we are loving it!  He has not  peed or pooped in his room in a couple months(knock on wood) and we even got rid of his toilet, like threw it in the garbage, it no longer exists here!  That is a big deal!!!  He has been so happy and engaging lately, but he still likes to be on his own to watch his shows so we need to figure out how to get rid of that and fully engage with him but it is a work in process!  He has spring fever and has been going out and playing on the swing set a lot!  He is trying to communicate with us more and I love it!  He has gone in stretches of sleeping in until 7 but then we have stretches of waking up at 5, but either way he is sleeping and that is good!  I hear a lot of kids on the spectrum do not sleep, and woah I just couldn't do that, so I am thankful for sleep!

My kids have been sick pretty much the past couple months and Boston finally got diagnosed with Strep so they put all the kids on Amoxicillin.  I was actually a bit giddy about it because I have wondered about PANDAS with Dylan, strep throughout your body attacking the brain pretty much, and so I wanted to see if we see any improvement while on the medicine.  He has been very happy and more engaging since, but nothing mind blowing, but still something to watch.  Dr Goldberg wants us to have him tested for strep 24-48 hours after medication is done to make sure the strep is gone, so we'll see in a couple days!  So I just wanted a quick update because I haven't done anything for a bit and here is a quick update in the 15 minutes I have to spare!
