Is there a Dr. in the house ?

             

So every few weeks I go to Logan's computer and check the history to make sure they are NOT viewing anything that they shouldn't.

So I come across where someone had viewed a knee replacement surgery and I just shake my head.

Our morning conversation while snuggling in bed

ME : Logan did you watch a video on knee replacement surgery  ? "

Logan, " Yes but almost through the 2nd video I had to turn it off, it was gross "

LOL

Logan loved the idea of all the tools and the mechanics of surgery, he said he wants to be a surgeon and surgeons need good math skills and he says " Well I am awesome at math "

Surgeon ?

Hmmmm, does Logan have the capability of that human connection if he ever had to tell someone a surgery went wrong or their loved one died on the table ?

You might think wow what a horrible way to think, but it's true. I think Logan has enough empathy but then again he watched a video of a child born with almost no face and said it was disgusting and YES we had a talk about that as well and Logan did show remorse and I reminded him that even if he thinks something, it's NOT always nice to post it  or say it out loud, I asked him " Does God make mistakes ? "  He stood and thought for a moment, well a little ? "

I said " What if someone said YOU were a mistake because of your autism, do you think God make you as a mistake ? "

Logan " A little maybe "

I called him over and hugged him close and whispered " YOU and NO ONE else are mistakes. You are perfectly and wonderfully made and you know this."

I gave him a big squeeze and then he announced he was awesome and ran off to play while running on this tippy toes !


So it's been a week since I started this blog and I have had the privilege of being Logan's surgical assistant as he did liposuction on his lamb. Logan's room looks like an operating room right now as well.

This could be just another wonderful obsession to where his gains a lot of knowledge about surgery and knee replacements or it could stay with him but he's only 10 so I will manage my expectations....

For now ;)

Ava the BEE Stalker !

So Ava LOVES to catch bees.

Bees you say ?

YES, BEES.

Back in first grade she caught one and tried to make friends with it and yes she got stung. After this incident Logan made Bee warning signs and put them on the playground to warn others of the killer bees and he cried that Ava got stung and ever since then he is TERRIFIED of bees.

Terrified to the point if a bee  was in the yard, he would holler or cry because he didn't want to come into the yard for fear of being stung. Well fast forward 2 yrs and yes Logan is still terrified and Ava is still trying to catch bees.

This is Ryan and I's conversation thru FB chat last night when I was at work

well ava just got stung again

by a dead bumblebee

Lol

Did she cry

well heck yea she did lol

she was screaming

I did the baking soda and vinegar cure

and some ice water

't swell up like rupert

she got this terrified look on her face

and whimpered lol

hopefully lesson learned this time

What did.Logan do

well they were doing an experiment, they'd found the one dead bee and dissected it and found the venom

so they were going to collect alot of bees and alot of venom and see how it reacted to blood from a scab

so logan was basically cheering her on to find more bees

And this is a typical night in our house !
