Parent update 6/18/2011

Well,Brendan had a rather tough morning. He ended up breaking his Barney video that he had been waiting for over a week to arrive. Then, he went into the garage, found the box of more Barney videos that we had, and broke another one.

A new respite person (she was here once before) came by at noon. While Brendan's Dad was upstairs trying to get some work done, Brendan tried to get into the garage again. The respite person blocked the door. Brendan got mad. He sat on the couch and then his anger continued to escalate. Brendan's Dad came downstairs to see what was going on. He took Brendan upstairs so he could swing (in his gym). By tthe time I got home from work, he had calmed down somewhat. I found him in his room crying softly. So, I laid down next to him and just held him. I didn't say a word. After about 15 minutes. He as calm. However, he didn't want to go downstairs because the respite person was still here, so I had her leave.

Brendan continued to get agitated off and on. I finally asked him if there was some negative energy in our house and he said "yah". So, I sprayed some Holy Water around the house, and he was fine after that and for the rest of the night. When we went for a drive around 4pm, he indicated that he wanted to go to the Mission (San Juan Bautista). Since it was getting late and due to traffic, I told him we would go tomorrow.

He didn't want me to read to him tonight (rare).But he did want me to say our prayers. He asked me to work on his head. As I did, the word "womb" came to my mind. So I asked him if he was back in my womb? He just got really quiet, turned away, and then fell asleep. I hope he wakes up feeling better tomorrow.
