ReNavigating Life. : November 2014
http://renavigatinglife.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 4, 2014. How much is too much. I often struggle with how much to share about our lives. I want to be honest and open with you because it is that openness that really helps when you're buried in the trenches of your own battle. Yet I worry that the words aren't enough, the the weight of them isn't fully conveyed. In the end, I think that more is better than less. It is our truth after all. Sounds like a typical kid to me".

ReNavigating Life. : January 2015
http://renavigatinglife.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. I didn't give up. I searched for days, for weeks even, looking for that sock. I had no joy and could see no happiness in having "just ONE" sock, There were supposed to be two. I bought two. What would people say when they saw me wearing only one sock or worse, two socks that didn't match? So come on over to our house. Show off your own mismatched socks. We won't judge. As we say over here, "Life's too short for matching socks"! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Other Blogs to Follow.

ReNavigating Life. : A place of your own
http://renavigatinglife.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-place-of-your-own.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2014. A place of your own. So much has happened in our home over the past four months. We have been living in a construction nightmare full of noise and drywall dust and paint fumes. We have had to cancel our ABA therapy or move it to other locations. Nothing fancy, but it is ours, kitty cat included. It's where my husband and I snuggle and watch movies. Usually he watches and I sleep. It's where I read at night if I can keep my eyes open. It helps me find peace. There Is Always Hope.

ReNavigating Life. : The Prophesy: "I loved him, but I didn't like him."
http://renavigatinglife.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-prophesy-i-loved-him-but-i-didnt.html
Friday, October 24, 2014. The Prophesy: "I loved him, but I didn't like him.". There were actually times that I had horrible feelings towards my son, that I felt angry and resentful that he was making my life so miserable. The guilt and shame I felt for feeling those things was overwhelming, but I did feel them non-the-less. One day at a time, he's closer to becoming the man I'm hoping, praying and trusting for him to be. One day at a time, I'm getting closer to being a happier more peaceful, more lo...

ReNavigating Life. : The blessing of Fever
http://renavigatinglife.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-blessing-of-fever.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. The blessing of Fever. I know this will make no sense to you fever phobic parents who repeatedly take your child's temperature when they are ill. The fear of fever, which has no medical basis, has been passed down to you from the older generation but is not based on science. You repeatedly recheck your child's temperature, fearful as it gets closer some random number: 102, 103, 104? For those of you with typical children, it's hard for me to understand your panic, your worry ov...

ReNavigating Life. : It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
http://renavigatinglife.blogspot.com/2014/12/it-most-wonderful-time-of-year.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Its The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. That's what the song says right? This year seems to be a little better. He is a year older and it is easier to explain to him why we are not doing certain things this year. Why aren't we going to the Christmas party this year mommy? Do you remember how loud it was last year and what happened when we left? Oh yeah. I screamed and cried in the truck the whole way home and then when we got home I think I hit you or hurt you. Right? But at ...

ReNavigating Life. : June 2014
http://renavigatinglife.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 27, 2014. A little faith and a diagnosis. There is lots of talk about getting a diagnosis for kids like Rex. Is it really necessary? What will it do for him? How will it help? For us, it wasn’t about getting a diagnosis; it was about getting help for him and for all of us. As we left for yet another evaluation today, I began to reflect on how far we have traveled and how long the journey has been to get to where he is today. After 2 years with our first psychiatrist, we switched doctors.
