Our long awaited Update! LOL!

Well I know a few of you have been on here looking for an update...I am truely sorry it took so long...but we are without internet...so I will be doing a weekly update on the weekends! Sorry for that...but at this point in time...there is nothing we can do about the internet thing...so on to our new "weekly update"...
Conner had some fun at camp...he did not say any more new words for them at camp...but this week has been alittle rough on him...he had fun and even made some new crafts...but he was starting to get sick and so he was more tired than usual and just not himself...
He ended up not even making it to Thursdays Camp session...he had a slight fever that morning...and with his history with seizures with high temps (the fast rising kind)...I kept him home to watch him and gave him some medicine to keep any fever away...he did have some issues in the bathroom department...but I caught it...and got him on the gatoraid and so he did not get dehydrated at all...Thank Goodness he loves Fruit Punch Gatoraid!!!
Now he just has a cough that is not going away as quick as I would like to see it...but his energy level is back up and playing fine and no fever...so I think the worst is over!
We have not been able to get him to say any words at home as of yet...his speech therapist told me that they could have been one time words and we might not hear them again...that he was just repeating what the other kids were doing...but he wont repeat or imitate us saying them...so I dont know...I am just waiting and listening and hoping to hear a word or two...
He is interacting with other kids better...though any kid that is too hyper makes him nervous and he starts his stimming to calm himself (his thing where he twirls an object in front of his face)...
Nate is doing well at work and still likes it lol!
I have been getting very tired with all the activity for Conner...all the driving and then making sure he still gets to were he needs to go and has everything he needs at each place...but it is ok and I love doing it for him...
I think he is suppose to start some sort of school when he turns 3...they said they are going to make an appointment in October with me to set things up...Im not sure where this will take place or what it will involve and if then I still have to get him to therapy...I dont think the girls he sees for Occupational and Speech go outside to schools...so I might still have to take him to the Therapy place after school is done or before (depending on the time of day the school time is)!
On July 30th...we have the BIG evaluation for him...I have to drive to West Palm and get him evaluated for his Autism to see where on the Spectrum he falls and get his "official" diagnoses. All his therapists have told me that there is no way that I will have to fight for his diagnoses...it is plain to see in him...so now to see where he falls on the Spectrum!
My MIL was suppose to come with me...but as usual she did not make it a priority and is not going to even be in the state for that time...I should have known better to ask her to do my a favor and go with me...but I always make sure to be available to drive her the couple of hours to her doctor so she does not have to go alone or drive herself...I just thought when she said she would definitely go...I thought she was going to put Conner first for once...But I should have known better...she never sees him that much...never has...she is always to busy...sigh...but that is ok...my mom is gonna ride with me...I just hope my car makes it down and back without any problems...I will leave that in God's hands...
And on the Church front...I want to thank everyone that reads my blog...it made me feel so good to have you all come up and say that you keep up with Conner on here! I appreciate you all soo much and I am looking forward to getting to know you all better! I know that New Hope is where my family belongs and we all feel comfy there...and as I get more involved with the studies and prayer groups...I hope to make friends with you all and get to have the proper association to help me grow my relationship with God! I loved being a part of the Wednesday night Prayer group! Nate said that he has no problem watching Conner and putting him to bed on that night. We are hoping to get baptized soon and "Officially" become members of the church. So thank you for all the wonderful people there that make us feel at home...God is soo great that he put us all together to worship and praise him...and to help each other in "unity"! Since as Pastor Brian said just today...we cannot go it alone...we need each other...and I know that Nate and I have found a place our family needs to be...
