This was Vegas during covid. Britt and I both caught covid while in Las Vegas. I was sicker than Britt, but by day 3, was feeling better.

Britt four years ago at the Hard Rock Casino. This caregiver was with Britt for 14yrs, until cancer reared its ugly head. Support is doing okay. Still fighting. 🙏🙏 #Support #autism

Britt loves the casino. We go about every 6 weeks for dinner and a few hours of slot machines. The more activities they learn to enjoy, the better. Even the casino 😳😳 #Autism # autistic

My grand baby is 11mo. My DIL still in #USAF, they live out of state. Britt still living w/me w/support. A lot of ups and downs as expected with autism. We're going to Italy next month, Britt still loves to travel (though that's NO/ZERO guarantee of good behavior). I would love to hear your updates since I was off X for quite a while.

Hi Everyone! Quick update: Sold my beach place after 23yrs:-( I had a stroke 4/26 when visiting my grandson out of state, I'm doing okay. Britt is now 36yo, the "what's going to happen when I'm gone", is getting too close. Her long-time caretaker is still battling cancer, no longer working. Other amazing & long time carer still w/Britt. Have a new girl on Britt's roster, she's fantastic. Britt's ups and downs are as real and dramatic as ever.

Britt went for her month hygienist appointment. Still never a cavity 🙏. She’s been going to same office since she’s a toddler. Still uses the pediatric dentist. Britt loves to go to the dentist 🫪

We had a big day planned last Saturday. Mall to buy things for upcoming vacation. Dinner & casino. The mall didn’t go as planned. Britt had a massive meltdown in Dillard’s. Thankfully dinner and casino went without drama. #Autism #autistic

Recently when visiting my grand baby out of state, I had a stroke. I was with son & DIL. Stopped breathing 2x. DIL revived me. First ambulance ride for me, hopefully my last. I’m still not myself, but profoundly grateful for a healing and forgiving body/brain. Post stroke pic.

We had a great birthday party at a nice restaurant on Friday. Britt loved it. Britt’s long time followers will recognize Britt’s BFF. He’s still by her side. First pic is me and my son’s MIL.

I’m no longer living on the beach after 23yrs. I’m semi-urban, but the wildlife is different, yet abundant
