Okay, I honestly don't know if anyone will actually read this blog, but just in case someone does, here is a list of my ideas for future posts.
Some have spoiler notes, and others won't make sense to anyone but me, but if you see a topic that you would like me to post about, leave a comment. I'll try to get to it as soon as I can!

This isn't a normal blog...
Life gets kinda chaotic around here... so don't expect regular posts. This blog is a gradual collection of hints, tips, and anecdotes about how we live life with one son who has autism, one daughter who is "typical", one son who is profoundly disabled and medically fragile, and one daughter with borderline delays and unclear medical complications. When life gets crazy, I won't post...but when things slow down (or I'm sitting in the hospital for a few days twiddling my thumbs) I'll add more posts about things we do to live a fun and joyful life...to the best of our abilities.
I read every single one of these and thought "ohh, that would be a good one . . . oh that would be a great one too!" Communicating with doctor's offices. I have heard multiple friends complain about communication with drs especially when they have to use multiple ones. I thought of how well you kept Nate's binder and asked every doctor's office for notes to be sent to you. I would love to hear your suggestions. Also tips for family and friends (hopefully I fall under both :) and . . . well actually every one, they sound great. When you have time of course. :)
