If you have paranoia, don't look here!

Okay, I HATE it when people get all worried and worked up about stuff for no good reason. This is funny because I constantly get worried and worked up about stuff for no good reason. The latest and greatest...Autism.

I used to be worried that Ty was autistic. He still has shades of it, I think. He is VERY sensitive to loud noise and to white noise. He covers his ears and cries (still) if he hears a vaccuum cleaner, blender, mixer, or any noise that could be considered loud (including yelling). As time has gone on, though, I think that we are in the clear with Ty. He maybe could be on the spectrum, but if he is, it isn't by much.

Now, I have Brycie to worry about. If it isn't enough to just have the worry in your head, Autism Speaks has put out a video glossary ( http://www.autismspeaks.org/video/glossary.php ) that shows warning signs of Autism. Now, I am afraid Bryce has Autism. He doesn't respond to his name the majority of the time, he gets hyper-focused on one thing, and he hand flaps when showing distress or anger. That being said, he is super-affectionate, can make eye contact, and does show me things/ ask for help - all of which point away from autism.

The moral is that there is always something to worry about, I guess. First, it is birth defects which moves to Autism and that gives way to late developing mental illness. I am going to resolve not to worry about this anymore...

Please Pray

This is a letter that I just forwarded to me. I was in club with Brianne.

Please petition God for Baylee Banning. She is the 6-month-old daughter of Aaron and Brianne (Lytton) Banning, who are friends of mine and Ben’s. Yesterday Baylee was diagnosed with 6 areas of cancer in her little body (3 in her brain). It appears to be fast-moving, but they did a biopsy today and are still waiting on results to find out what kind of cancer they are dealing with and what the treatment plan will be.

We KNOW that we serve an amazing God who CAN heal Baylee. Please pray for his healing power to be on Baylee and to just remove these tumors from her so she won’t have to go through chemo.

Thank you for your prayers!!
Kelly, Ben and Sophie Tyson
