Status Report

Here is where I am on this journey:

Would I take away his anxiety?  Yes.
Would I heal his gut issues that give him pain and discomfort?  Yes.
Would I give anything to have a full and “typical” conversation with my son?  Anything.
Would I silence the quirky noises that draw stares from the uneducated?  Maybe.
Would I take away the obsessive fixations?  Perhaps.

But, if the price for any of these wishes involved dampening his spirit, squashing his personality or lessening his love of life… I’d pass.
