Our little Easton!

Easton's feet at almost a year old! 2006

Easton has always loved the water! He also

loves eating dirt! A little too much!

Easton was a very cuddly baby until 14 months.

Easton on his first b-day eating tons of cake and

drinking a bottle of milk! Who would of thought

he would soon change and not be able to enjoy

the things he loves most. At 12 months Easton

would stand on the couch and yell for his siblings.

It was the cutest Cali, Skyler, Brydon, and Crew

you have ever heard. I never even thought I could

lose such a sweet thing but by 14 months he no

longer talked and couldn't look at you anymore.

At 17 months we got him diagnosed after waiting

the three months, because they thought I was

crazy to think anything was wrong making it not

a priority,I was told he had characteristics of

autism. A year later at 26 months we finally got

the true diagnosis.Our little Easton is autistic.

Since 19 months we have done many therapies

with him. Speech, O.T,developmental, structured

habilation and ABA.Structured habilation and

ABA services are not covered because they say

my little Easton isn't severe enough. Making the

process of getting all the stuff he needs, expensive.

The other services being covered by the

government thank heavens. Easton has a total of

15+ hours a week of therapy. In addition to that

we visit a bio medicine doctor monthly. Easton

is on supplement's consisting of Chromium,

Magnessium, Lithium, Iodine, Zinc, C-

Spironolactione, Floconazole, Acetyl-L-Carnitine,

Melatonin, and now an antibiotic also.

The antibiotic is for Giardia. Yes, a parasite

he got somehow. This picture explains it

clearly! We thought his eating dirt and drinking

any water was just a boy thing but we were so

wrong! It's his little autistic thing. He loves licking

everything that is dirty! Not so shocking to

hear this news I guess.

So needless to say we are constantly watching

trying to keep these filthy things out of his

mouth. He is also on a Gluten-free diet. This

means he has no wheat,eggs,flour, corn in his

diet. He also has no dairy. (Maybe that's why

he eats everything else!)


Easton is delayed in speech and social skills.

( social is coming) But as for being delayed in

other area's we have found that all we are

doing is helping him. His eye contact is much

better. We actually can rock him to sleep now

at 26 months for the first time since 14 months.

Easton is now officially going to be starting

"big boy school". He will be in the public school

system along with the other therapies

starting August 6,2008.



He will be a busy boy! He is very busy so I

think he will do great! I'm amazed that he's

not even three and doing all he is doing! I

wouldn't change him for nothing! He is the

love of our lives even if he is way hard!

Every little thing he does seems to be a

miracle to us! We can't wait to see what an

amazing person he becomes!

WE LOVE YOU OUR "LITTLE EASTON"

We are so fortunate with all the needed help

and support we have for little Easton!
