The most important thing I want you know about me is that I loooovvvveee to give big hugs and hold your hand!!! It is my way of saying Heyyy!!! I had my first grand mal seizure at 4 months old on 6/10/1998. Since then, I have had numerous seizures which along with a multitude of medication cocktails, brain surgery and a few other anti-seizure methods have delayed my progress. Currently, I have at
least 5 different of seizures and take 11 medications, 24 pills a day. I can walk but have to use a wheelchair in the community because of my uncontrollable seizures plus I love to run away from Mommy T. I am nonverbal, but make a lot of "B" sounds and say "wee" and have an awesome little laugh!! I loved to "talk" to you too!! Just mimic my sounds and we will be talking up a storm!! I am also Autistic, which means I have meltdowns that I'm unable to explain to Mommy T. I will hit the floor, a door or anything with my hands or head. And I express "no" by slapping the top of my left hand with my right hand. Mommy T. is really good at redirecting my meltdowns, most of the times it works :)
Unfortunately, another huge obstacle in my life, is that I am completely incontinence. I have to wear pull up diapers and "rubber" pants always. I do not have the brain ability to know/care that I am wet or worse. Poor Mommy T., she keeps trying to keep me dry but I usually leak twice a day and then she has more laundry to do. But I do help her put the clothes in the washer and into the dryer. And unloading the dishwasher is my favorite chore!! Handing Mommy T. one thing at time, one utensil at a time!! (thank you Autism!) But, she tells me it saves her back from bending over plus she loves it when I help her with any chores! Even though, it will take 2x longer to do it :)
Thank you for following !! Look for more daily details about me on my page!! There is more Mommy T. and I want to share with you!! Much hugs!! Ju Man
