4muskateers's Bio

Hi,

My name is Diana, I have one daughter (27) and four boys (22) (14) (13) and (9). I have 1 grand-daughter in heaven and four grand-sons (7) (4) (1) and (2). I have been happily married for 14 years and 12 of them have been with the challenges of autism, and year 15 is this May. I used to hold support meetings for parents here in Madera, I did this for 4 1/2 years...But do to the lack of parental interest in recovering these children, In July of 2007, I stopped the support group...I still provide resources when the local agencies ask for them. Now we try and do as many family outings as possible. I homeschool Julian, and I am his teacher, doctor, nurse, one on one aide, and therapist for everything.

As long as God gives be breath, I will continue to keep looking under every stone, and move as many mountains as possible to help Julian recover, and be all GOD intended him to be. May GOD's glory shine through Julian for the world to see. amen y amen.

I wished upon a star

Once I wished upon a star,
For a Barbie doll and a pink corvette too.

Once I wished upon a star,
For a bike with tassels hanging.

Once I wished upon a star,
For a pair of roller skates.

Once I wished upon a star,
For a chance to be in the choir.

Once I wished upon a star,
To marry a handsome prince.

Once I wished upon a star,
For him to talk to me.

Once I wished upon a star,
To be a mommy someday.

Many, many, years ago when
I wished upon  a star,

I never thought I would continue to
Wish upon the first night’s star.

Now my wishes have all changed,
Now they are for you.

Now I wish upon a star,
And wish for you to play.

Now I wish upon a star,
That a bike you will ride someday.

Now I wish upon a star,
That you can one day  balance
 on skates.

Now I wish upon a star,
To hear you sing praises to our
 KING.

Now I wish upon a star,
To have YOU talk to me.

Now I wish upon a star,
And pray you will have the chance
To find someone to marry.

Now I wish upon a star,
And pray with all my heart
That you can someday be a 
Daddy too.

Many, many years ago,
I never thought that the 
First night’s star could
Shine so long and bright
Still be here to hear me,

Wish once again upon a star.

Can you believe summer is almost over? This is your final week of Summer School for Parents. You will receive your certificate in the next issue. 
www.newletter@wrightslaw.com

If you traveled by car this summer (in spite of the price of gas), more than likely you used a map as a guide to help you find where you were going.

Your child's IEP should be your roadmap to his progress in school.

The roadmap to SMART IEPs is learning how to write SMART goals and objectives.

Clearly written SMART goals and objectives in the IEP provide you and your child's teachers with a roadmap and a clear mechanism to evaluate your child's progress.

Assignment #6: Learn to write SMART Goals and Objectives.

Psychologist, Educator, and Writer Robert Mager says "If you're not sure where you're going, you're liable to end up someplace else. If you don't know where you're going, the best made maps won't help you get there."

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will learn how to determine your child's present levels of performance and write measurable annual goals that are SMART IEP goals and objectives.

Please don't hesitate to forward this issue of Summer School for Parents to other families, friends, and colleagues.

I am posting this once again so new members can read it too.

My son is disabled I am blessed.
That makes no sense, is what you say.

My son is speechless, I am blessed.
In this case silence is not golden, is what you say.

My son cannot call me mama, I am blessed.
You shake your head in sadness, you have nothing to say.

My son always plays alone, I am blessed.
Where is the pleasure in that, is what you say.

My son has some quirky behaviors, I am blessed.
You need to be stern, is what you say.

My son was created by a living GOD, I am blessed.
How can you still have faith, is what you say.

Seven days a week my faith lives in my son,

I am BLESSED.

My son was injured by the vaccines,
Now he is blessed.

My son kisses and hugs us,
We are blessed.

My son is a magnet for strangers prayers,
They are blessed.

My son can conquer mountains,
He is blessed.

My sons eyes are the doorway to his soul,
He is blessed.

My son knows JESUS is the purest form,
He is blessed.

If my son has touched you heart, 
You have been

BLESSED.

Tonight Julian surprised me once again...he had not seen a Barney movie for about a year...well tonight he kept wanting to go into the storage room, so I finally sent dad in with him, Dad yells, hey he wants the box way up high that say Barney...no he doesn't was my response, I don't know what he wants...so then later Julian takes victor into the storage room and victor says what dad said...now pam is carrying in a chair from outside and Julian stops her, holds on to the chair, so now victor takes the chair and Julian follows him into the storage room again...I send them both out and Julian sits on the couch...but what he did next took me by surprise...he went to his icons and strongly placed the icon had a stern looking face and the words mean written on it...I told everyone, hey Julian just told me I was mean, I guess because I won't let him have the barney movies...so victor took him back into the storage room let him stand on the chair with him and sure enough Julian got down the box of barney movies...but it is late, so I guess tomorrow we will be watching barney...

You Know You Are Getting Older When . . .

By 4muskateers
08-03-08

1. You and your teeth don't sleep together.

2. You try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and discover you aren't wearing any.

3. At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle, pop and you're not eating cereal.

4. Your back goes out but you stay home.

5. It takes two tries to get up from the couch.

6. Your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.

7. You say something to your kids that your mother said to you, and you always hated it.

8. All you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of your age.

9. You step off a curb and look down one more time to make sure the street is still there.

10. Your idea of weight lifting is standing up.

11. Your address book has mostly names that start with Dr.

12. The pharmacist has become your new best friend.

13. Getting "lucky" means you remember where you left your car in the parking lot.

14. The twinkle in your eye is merely a reflection from the sun on your bifocals.

15. It takes twice as long -- to look half as good.

16. Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt -- doesn't work.

17. You sink your teeth into a steak -- and they stay there.

18. You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don't even remember being on top of it.

19. You have more hair in your ears and nose than on your head.

20. More than half of this list pertains to YOU!

and when you listen to this video, you will know you are old and have turned into your mother.

I wake to a song bird,
I wake to the sun,
I lay awake and listen
and only hear the soft
breathing of our 3 young
princes'.
I quitely check in on them
and see their handsome faces,
worriless and carefree.
Not a sound is heard until
10:00am, when one little 
prince says goodmorning mom.
A few minutes later a second
prince arises and comes to 
find me to give me a hug and
says goodmorning with his eyes
still sleepy.
Now prince number 3 comes to 
check to see where I am, and 
goes to sit on the couch. He
waves at me to come over and 
I do, he gives me a kiss and 
caresses my check.
This is how my day usually 
begins.
Now prince number 3 can't speak
just yet, but his body language
and gestures are louder than 
words.
No alram clocks to hear,
No phone calls to make,
and no appointments to keep.
Only the sound of children 
playing are heard at our house
through out the day.
In the evening you can hear
children having fun in the 
pool too, 
see Julian has decided that
10:00 pm. is the best time
to swim.
I wake to the song bird
and I give thanks.
I wake to the sun and give 
thanks for the day.
I fall asleep recalling
all the sounds of love
I heard through out the day.
I give thanks for the pleasure 
I hear in the kids while they play.
No yelling, No crying and 
No fussing too.
God has bless this house with 
love and joy and a few glitches too.
The sounds of summer are coming to 
an end..,but when fall starts, well hummm,
at our house that is when the real
fun begins.

I have come to this road too...I know the Autism is gone...simply by watching and documenting behavior...But what is now staring me in the face is the injury caused by the vaccines...
1...losss of speech
2...injury to the brain stem
3...leaky gut (no more) TG!
4...yeast over growth (no more) TG!
5...cognitive ability (not at age level) yet.
6...attack on the Central Nervous System
7...attack on the Immune System

WHAT AUTISM WAS THAT NOW ISN'T...

1...crying
2...bitting
3...constipation/dirreah
4...no eye contact
5...lack of recognition who people are
6...lack of fine motor skills
7...lack of emotions
8...lack of laughter
9...lack of humor
10...people were objects only
11...eyes blank without life

There are many more ways to show the progress made, but when you see Julian at 13 and he is still alone, after climbing so many mountains and reaching and grabbing for the stars...it makes me very ANGRY...but I know the time will come some when GOD reaches down and touches Julian and says enough is enough, now be who I sent you to earth to be...I wait anxiously for that day...for GOD's glory to shine as bright as a candle in a pitch black room.

Hi, everyone 
as you can see I have been enjoying this time with Julian who has  proven to be a sly fox...but I am working off a laptop...Victor has prohibited me from down loading pictures so I don't use up his memory...so I was trying to be as discriptive as a can...I miss being on here and sharing...I did start working on Julian's DVD...I have ended up with three different ones...1- is from birth to diagnoses...2- is from diagnoses to 1st DAN visit...3- is from DAN to natural chelation to present...I am asking a friend who writes songs of praise and worship to see the slide show and write a song to fit each one...these songs will be written exclusively to fit Julian's life...number 4 is already waitng to be made, this one will be on recovery and GOD's grace over Julian...recovery is so close, Oh so close that sometimes I feel it is only a dream...but then I remember, Lucifer can no longer still the blessings that are Julian's...no one can...So this autism train is so close to its final destination, that the trails from here, will be a little harder, but worth every drop of sweat...the faith of a mustard seed is what I have and more...please add us to your prayers...Thank you Amen y Amen.

LETTER FROM GOD TO WOMEN.... 
If you ever look at yourself and feel that you don't measure up, read this and your outlook will change before you finish reading it! 
This is good to keep, not just to read from time to time, but to also keep stored in your heart! Enjoy, and remember who you are...

Letter from God to Women

When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being.

When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.

But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate.

I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you. Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity. From one bone, I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life.

I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do. Around this one bone, I shaped you....  I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully. Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.

The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart. Support man as the rib cage supports the body. You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him.

You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.

You are my perfect angel.....You are my beautiful little girl.

You will or have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart. Your eyes......don't change them. Your lips-how lovely when they part in prayer. Your nose, so perfect in form. Your hands so gentle to touch I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep. I've held your heart close to mine. Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me.

Adam walked with me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you; my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support.

You are special because you are an extension of me. Man represents my image, woman my emotions. Together, you represent the totality of God.

Live simply.

Love seriously.

Care deeply.

Speak kindly.

Leave the rest to GOD
