Life is good again...

Violet is doing great! The mass seems to have completely disappeared. She is all done with radiation and only has 2 more shots of her vaccine left.
Kids are also doing very well. Max succesfully compeleted his MCAS (standardized tests in MA)last week and also presented his Science Fair Project on Friday. What a difference a year makes. Last year at this time we were on the verge of looking for some sort of in patient program for Max, in daily contact with our attorney and the stress levels in the house were immense. Fast forward to today and Max is studying the rise and fall of Communisim in the Soviet Union and the sound of his giggling permiates the house. Sarah is a joy and bright ray of sunlight as she skips throughout the house searching for "faerie houses" and "enchanted" objects with her best friend Aviva.
Once again I am blessed to be able to enjoy my children growing up with some sense of "normalcy" each having a "best friend", playdates and school projects. Now, don't get me wrong, living life on the spectrum of autism is and will always be a challenge, but now the daily challenges we face deal are more of the internal workings of living with Asperger's, as opposed to the rights of my child to a fair and appropriate education and basic respect.
