In this episode, we follow up to the mention of Sandy's concerning bloodwork in the last episode. Sandy was in the hospital for a week receiving blood transfusions and plasma plasmapherisis treatments before receiving her diagnosis of a rare blood cancer, Waldenström macroglobulinemia. Although it is not curable, it is treatable and the first chemo treatment began this morning.
We talk about how we are explaining this to Bryce for processing as well as our emotions during the past two weeks. Our faith in the Lord is carrying us through this and will be what continues to help us remain thankful and find moments of joy one day at a time.
Wishing each of you who take time to listen to our journey a beautiful Thanksgiving as you pause and reflect on all that the Lord has done for you!

In this episode, we talk about Bryce's recent sleepover with his best friend, Michael, and how we helped him work through his hurt feelings and emotions.
It's not easy to watch your son struggle with his feelings of hurt and sadness. It's also not easy to figure out the right words and instructions to help teach your son who thinks in a completely different way that yourself. We are very grateful that the Lord continues to give us wisdom as we pray for it daily!
We also talk about how we may feel isolated at times because we don't have others to help care for Bryce - However, we each need to relook at our situation and make sure that we are making the effort to help others understand our children and learn to TRUST! We know from experience that it's not easy and takes time. We have also learned from experience the importance of being able to have some quality time together without Bryce and to also allow Bryce to spend time with others who love him and want to spend quality time with him.

In this episode, weshare thirteen questions posed to a 13 year old boy with autism who ia able to articulate his answers with such incredible insight. These questions along with many more can be found in the book "Why Do I Jump" by Naoki Higashida. We talk about how this insight helps us understand how Bryce may be feeling and how he may be experiencing ways in a completely different way than we do. It has created some thought provoking talks in our home and will be a tool that we keep on hand for future discussions with Bryce as he learns to express his thoughts and feelings more clearly. Although there is progress and improvement, we still do quite a bit of decoding and guessing about what he is trying to tell us.
