Well talk about ups and downs.

last week my son got bored???  after only 2 years, and took the 4 wheeler out for a ride.  Oh yes he had quite the time.  It was in the back of the garage so he had to move the riding lawn-mower first.  Then he went for a ride down the railroad tracks behind our house and came home and did donuts in our yard.

He was doing good untill he decieded to see how fast he could go to do a real good donut and he rolled the 4 wheeler over.  So he then crawled over to our fire pit for a log to use as a lever to turn the 4 wheeler back over, couldn't do that so he crawled up to the house and banged on the back door until I got up.

What a lot of work he went through, I did not even wonder if he was hurt I was so excited he went out and tryed something on his own and he did somthing crazy just like always!

My husband had a heart attact, I was just pumped up like my son was.  He is so stuborn he said if he could not do what he wanted then what was the use?Huh  He had to use his hand to shift as it has a foot lever too, he will get out again I am sure but he will have to start being a little more careful.

He was not hurt, I don't understand why not, that kid has been scaring me half to death since he was 4 months old and kept standing up and walked at 9 months. 

So anyway he really is getting bored and would like to work but he said he is just not ready for that yet.  That is another post I will have make later.

Haahaa!!! What a silly shit!!!! Sorry but reading this gave me the giggles. Im with you Gzarnke, I would have been pumped too. Good on him!

Yeah, he should start taking a bit more care, but he got out there and had some fun and thats what counts.
If he can play silly games on the 4 wheeler then it wont be long until he has the confidence to get out and look for a job.

Yeah it was one big jump alright, and I sure was surprised to see him sitting by that back door! 
Jilly you are right about him, it was good to see him be himself again!!!

He did tell me he does not have the same confidence he once did, I told him it will come back to him as he gets out to do more.

And an old girlfriend came over and she was sitting on his lap and they were flirty with each other so the past few weeks have been good ones for sure.  Oh I only know about this from my daughter as she was here at the time and they were partying it up.

Hiya Gzarnke

Fantastic!!!!!!!  All good things come to thee who wait, or so I'm told.  Hope it's given him a big enough taste of what's out there that he wants more.  Am real happy for you all.

Well his friend has come over the last 2 week-ends in a row and last night she brought a friend for my son's friend who comes every week-end.  I know I am making a bit about this but I am happy that he is having more people to visit with as it will help to get him motivated.

So far he still does not want to go to the Doctor and it is what he needs to do to get his bladder and bowels checked out.  He has more accidents with his bowels now as he never did before and I think it is due to his not doing enough physicaly to stay strong.

It does worry me and I am sure hopeing that this attention from this girl will help to get him moving and wanting to live again.  She is a very nice girl a few years older then my son and very pretty, she is always laughing and very active, it is just what he needs.  Someone who sees him for himself and has fun being with him.  My son has just been waiting for others to come to him and that has made it hard for others to know what to do.

I just need him to go to the doctor so he can start doing things and be happier.
