Another McGee girl!

Got a call from son Matt today and grandbaby # 6 due in September is a girl! This evens up the grandkids to 3 boys/3 girls. Especially happy for Alisa as this pregnancy has been extremely serious high risk so a girl after 2 boys is exciting for her!

April is National Autism Awareness Month! Please pray for a cure! My grandson, Caleb along with 1 out of every 150 births has Autism. Something has to be done. If I witness any miracle in my life I pray it will be that a cure for Autism has been discovered! Also just my opinion but from studying and reading I DO BELIEVE that immunizations do have something to do with it. Although i believe we should immunize our children I do believe if they have any other problems such as a cold, runny nose, fever, or ear infections which MIGHT have been Caleb's case to wait on the shots. Doctor's don't tell us that though because they do not believe that is the cause and Caleb had chronic ear infections as a baby. A child's immune system can not fight off infections etc. and then be given a live vaccine to fight also. Their little systems can not take on that much. THIS IS JUST MY THOUGHTS! Also have the Dr. spread the vaccinations out. At 16 months they are given so many of them once again their systems can not fight all that is given them. It is about this age that Autism is discovered and I truely believe it has Everything to do with that set of shots. Caleb at 9 months old looked you in the face, would laugh, and say YEAH. I don't believe the brain neuron theory what so ever. Caleb was a normal baby! Today he is almost 8 years old and non-verbal although his was caught at an early age and was helped immediately upon diagnoisis with sensor stimulations etc. He is a very intelligent and loving little boy and my prayer in life is that he can live a normal life. The Lord does hear and answer our prayers!
