Your Encouragement For Today

Your Encouragement For Today 11/30/2011

I am praying for you! Honestly, that's all I have right now.

That and Margaret and Amy are rock stars who somehow found me and call me and give my sorry butt encouragement when I need it. I thank them both from the bottom of my hearts.

I'm going to bed. Apparently pushing 7 and 8 year old children in an abandoned shopping cart throughout my neighborhood on a windy eve to see Christmas lights can make a mama tired. Who knew?

Thinking and loving you all. Andrea

TICKED OFF: TOURETTES TALK

"When You Can't Fix the Tics, Fix Yourself"

Consider this is your 12-Step Tourettes Support Group where we will encourage each other to:

1. Accept the tics we cannot change

2. Change the tics we can

3. And have the wisdom to know the difference.

ABOUT ME
My son, Stink, was diagnosed with mild Tourettes when he was 4. I was terrifed he would curse, shriek, scream and hump busses.

Quite the opposite, he is highly creative, social and thriving.

I keep his tics at a minimum through a gluten free/caesin free diet.

While I haven't eliminated his tics altogether, I'm eliminating fear through a good dose of humor and acceptance.

I hope you'll join me so we can support each other on this crazy journey. Welcome to Ticked Off.

I write weekly for the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome blog. Come visit me, and other awesome parents, for some daily support!
