Over the past month Nothing has happened , but normal everyday life. Following the routine that gets you to the next day, becomes comforting when there are no interruptions. Except, the feeling of "I'm going nowhere" creeps in. We are so focused on making it to the next day without a crisis, that progress stops. Why?

Most of my energy is spent on keeping the status quo. I guess I am waiting for the next emergency to arrive. I do not want it to come, and it is for sure another set back. Quite frankly, I do not know who it will be harder on, my son, my wife or me. Which brings me back to Nothing is good.

Progress has been made. Without emergencies, we are able to feel in control again. We are able to do the other things that "normal" families call everyday life. It is time to stop worrying about the next bad thing and start to work on things that we could not do before.

My son is potty training, which is a miracle in its self. He is communicating (sounds and actions) and controlling his own body. Both have not been done in the past. So now we are looking for new ways for him to communicate and to help his control his life. Progress is really happening. You just have to look for it.

"Nothing" is good. I hope you get the gift of Nothing for the Holidays.
