Learn the Signs. Act Early. Milestones - NCBDDD. Autism Speaks, Video Glossary. Josie's Adventure: November 2009. Now that it’s November (Thanksgiving time) I figure is long overdue (emphasis on L – O – N – G ) that I get you all updated on what’s happening with Josie and all her business. The Reader’s Digest version is – pretty good. Now that we’ve got that out there I can take another six months off from posting. Thanks for reading. See ya. Ok, I can’t leave it just at that…so here goes. Since May Josie has completed kindergarten, had summer break, gone to a family camp for a week, been to the doctor many times, had gallons of medicine poured and injected into her system, had a surgery, started first grade, been to Florida for a week, started first grade, had tons of fun with friends, and has been generally living life and doing what most kids her age are doing. No professional surfing or mountain climbing…but pretty active indeed.
On the Dermatomyositis front she’s been doing fairly well. Josie’s been fielding a lot of questions from kids asking what’s wrong with her. First grade is going great.
