Answered Prayers

We recently found out that our sweet little guy has high functioning autism. It really wasn't a shock but at the same time I just wanted to cry. I wanted to cry because we finally had answers and knew for sure that is what has been going on. I wanted to cry because of the diagnosis we got. Not that it is bad but just not what I wanted for my son. But I realize he was sent to us for a reason and with the challenges he has and will have for a reason. What reason I don't know but I do know that he is so special. We love him so much. He definitely tests my patience some days but he is so sweet and loving. We have a long road ahead of us but I am so grateful for the answers we have received from the many prayers we have given over the years. Trying to figure out what we were doing wrong what we need to do better. I'm so grateful that Heavenly Father is looking out for us and giving us the guidance we need. Because of finding out he has autism before the year started we were able to get him to a school that can help him better then the one we were planning on him going to. It isn't the way we planned our lives to go but I am so grateful for what we have and where we are today. Just look at how cute and sweet this little guy is..... We are so lucky to be his parents. I was reading one of my friends blogs earlier. She is amazing by the way. She was telling about a challenge that one of her kids has and she has learned to always be grateful. I am going to try and always be grateful. Things could always be worse and we have so much to be grateful for.
