IMPORTANT: Ty update 7/29/14: Today is 22 days since Tys surgery. It was also his first hours long outing in MONTHS. He got up at 7am, we left at 7:30. We ran errands around town, then went to Tulsa to spend Big Justins money to get Chriss school stuff about 9am. We went to Kmart, Office Depot, Stage, Vapor Kings, grandmas, then quick stop at the house to unload Chriss school stuff; on to Cleveland to Homeland then Walmart. All without a break, without stopping for lunch or a rest, etc. Ty got out everywhere we went (except Vapor Kings), he actively participated in everything today. He helped Chris pick out jeans, waited patiently for him to try on clothes, Ty even picked himself out a badly needed new pair of tennis shoes. We went grocery shopping where he helped me plan our meals for the next couple of weeks, then again at Walmart. He even LEFT ME (I about fainted from the shock!) shortly at Walmart so he could go pick out a movie he has been wanting & he had bday money from Aunt Ramona to spend on it. At the register, he did the math (IN HIS HEAD!!!!!!!!!) and realized he would have enough to buy his movie & buy Chris a $5 movie he wanted also. He used the self checkout with only minimal assistance from Chris (while I was checking out at the other one, crying tears of relief & pride), carried groceries to the truck, unloaded the truck and helped me put everything away. It was 3:30pm when we got done. And why is this so important? Why am I sharing all these details? Because he hasnt had a seizure, doesnt have a headache, there were NO meltdowns from being overwhelmed. No, hes UP, PLAYING with his brother, still smiling and laughing and talking with us! I havent seen this Ty in almost a year. Ive sat here in my chair and been quietly crying for the last 30 minutes as I thought about this. They said my almost 17 yr old son has the brain the size of an average 14 yr old AND they believe by the scans provided from OKC doctors that Tys brain has been under pressure since 2007. How different would his life have been if he didnt have Autism & felt pain like the rest of us? And where would he be RIGHT NOW if ALL YOU kind hearted people hadnt helped me raise those funds, help me find Dr. Fearon, prayed for him, listened to ME?? Where would he be RIGHT NOW if I had listened to Dr. El Amm? Where would he be without Gods guiding hand helping me EVERY STEP OF THE WAY? And HOW DO I SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR THIS? It may have only been an 8 hour outing to all of you. To me, it was a total miracle day of what ifs & how is this possible? Today was a life changing experience. I love you all, and how I wish you could see what I see & feel what I feel. THANK YOU ISNT NEARLY ENOUGH.
