After the last few days of Liberty's mystery symptoms, I picked him up at school today and the teacher met me and said, "Ms. K (autism consultant) was by today and she videotaped Liberty's remarkable progress." I stared at her blankly. Huh? She said he's doing marvelously in school. Making great progress.
Okay...
Then they said one of his classroom assistants brought her scissors in today and evened up Lib's hair for me (I hacked at it last night). It turns out she apparently was a hair dresser in another life. She wrote me a note that said, "I hope you don't mind I trimmed Liberty's hair, and when he is due for a trim, let me know and I will bring my scissors."
Then she said she will be glad to babysit Liberty through the long Christmas break, in fact the teacher and both assistants offered their help. They said they will miss seeing him and so they don't mind helping me. After I told them I really had to concentrate on potty training and did not know if I could really send Lib to their house in just underwear when he's not used to the potty yet, they said, "Oh, don't worry, we'll help you do that."
I feel like I won the lottery, or at least I did something good in my chain of karma.
Merry Christmas to me!

WOW! Congrats. He's moving right along!
And so have unsolicited help offered? A Christmas miracle.
God bless!
Best possible news - you are not alone! He is LOVED! He is making progress! This is a sign of things to come. The worst is over, brighter days are ahead, and they will just keep getting brighter, and brighter and brighter. But, let me warn you, when he starts to coast, that's when you'll finally fall apart.
love.
Been There, Done That
Carrie, I am sure you are right about falling apart. I am preparing by getting my hormones checked so the physical part won't be so bad. I blew out my adrenals awhile back!
Here I go, crying again. What beautiful people. They GET him and love him.
Wise and good. Wise women. They are the wise women, bringing you gifts.
Merry Christmas, my friend. Best news I've heard all day!
