It has been a week since my last post. I did go into a bit of a depression, but thankfully, my kids and husband were able to help pull me out of it.
One of the things that has helped me improve quicker is that Tim has started writing a fictional story from Flynn's perspective. I'm really hopeful that Tim will complete this story, because I want to share with others an idea of how Flynn thinks and reacts. We won't know for sure how Flynn actually thinks until communication improves, but this is a start.
I was nervous about church. Church is always a bit difficult for our boys, because it happens during Ian's naptime, and everyone wants to eat, and be loud. Flynn did very well today. He didn't fight me too much as I held him still during Sacrament. He also did very well when we were in Primary. Flynn loved running around and jumping, and made many of the teachers smile. I let him bring a toy that allowed him to adjust it's size and shape frequently.
Last week during the lesson part of Primary was when Flynn had trouble. This time, he sat, only needing to get up periodically, and drank water. I appreciated that his Primary teacher asked Flynn specific questions which I then was able to answer for him. I like that she tries to include him. Flynn did get pretty mopey at the end, because he was getting tired. He had been up since about 5am, and was yawning a bunch. But, he made it until just under 10 minutes left of church.
I am so proud of my Flynn and how he continues to try. Currently, he is trying to nap in his room. We'll see if he actually ends up sleeping.
