Let's be honest

I can't use a computer, it's just a fact, I don't understand all of this sync to this, and that happens. So, I have a new blog, so I don't have to sign in and out of whatever to get whatever.

ANYWAY- I set my old blog to private, because life has not been so sweet lately. I was hoping to still blog, but, not have the whole world see it, turns out I can't use a computer. So I am tempting the faites and blogging.

My husband deployed a bit ago, and Cotton has come unraveled in every way. I can talk about it now, because we are finally starting to help him, but people it has been rough. The day my husband left Cotton cried no, bawled in my husband's closet for three days. It was sad, it was heartbreaking. Cotton was frozen, he couldn't do anything. Everything has been a fight to help him through this. It is like his entire body was simply refusing. He couldn't go anywhere, and being separated from me, was like torturing him. He screamed and yelled, for his dad. All day every day. We would set the table for dinner, and he would insist on making a place for Dad, and then sob for him. If I was in a different room from him he would start to panic. His screams were painful, because I knew I could do nothing to ease the hurt in his heart.

I have never been in a place, in which I had no plan, or could not find any advice, but here I am.  About a month into it, I contacted the Children's Study Center in town. The waiting list is forever long, but they got us in. There is and will be some changes to his meds. and we are slowly working on helping him through this. We are finally starting to see him smile again, and he is starting to come back to life.

So think of us if you will, send good thoughts to Cotton, and hope him to peace. It has not been an easy journey, and we could use all the help we can get.
