Today - - 6
yrs old my son Cody

"I myself and his father family
and friends see that he was once a normal child. I would really like
to know what you see. I have more and better pictures. As I said
I would eat up my hard drive if I loaded them all in to my computer! Thanks
again, Dana, for calling me. I'll try to get in touch with Dr. Martin
(either) today if I can't get him today I'll call on Monday - I don't want
to disrupt his weekend. Take care. Let me know if you see the changes
my family and friends saw in Cody thru these pictures."

HI Dana
Hope you like the pictures. This is my family and Cody's; yeah little brother is
as mean as he looks. LOL. He is an angel with horns but we love them both .
I want to let you know Cody has shown this week signs of remembering how his day
went and then relaying it to his dad on the phone.
Usually when someone asks how school was he just says "fine" and if you ask him
what he did today his normal response is "I don't know" but yesterday because my
step daughter had been playing with the clock the night b4.
We missed Cody's school bus and I had to drive him to school. When my ex
called that night to talk to Cody , Cody told him "Heather messed up the clock
so Mommy and Brother had to take me to school and I almost missed school."
I see this as a bit of improvement cause he has never been able to do this b4.
Have a great day and let me know when you would need to have the parents views
on autism paper. I'll start working on it as soon as I can.
Always,
Angie
