We are all alive, barely. We have a long awaited event tomorrow that I am hoping they will manage to get through without any huge episodes.
One great thing I want to share is........I think 3 kids may be close to getting out of pull ups at night soon. Silly thing to be excited about? They are really expensive for kids the size of an adult and 1 of them uses 2 or 3 a night. I can't wait to find a creative way to use that extra $.

- I am the mother of 10 children, 6 are part of a large sibling group we adopted through foster care in 2006, 2 are our grown foster daughters, 2 are from independent infant adoptions in 2001 and 2008. Every one of them have their own issues to work through from Schizo-Affective Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Complex PTSD, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, ADHD, and Cerebral Palsy. Most of our children have been victims of sexual abuse by a close family member, most acted out sexually or exhibited predatory behaviors. We are currently trying to figure out where the trauma ends and mental illness begins in each of their lives.

Tudu,
Your state doesn't provide incontenence supplies? That's ridiculous!
Really glad you're all hanging in there!

i hear you on the pull ups! but I'm equally grateful they make 'em that big because gosh, what did people do with their challenged kids BEFORE manufacturers clued in and made bigger ones?!
