Early tomorrow (Sat.) morning, DH, DS10, and I will venture to Springfield, MO for BIT therapy with a practitioner there. We're cautiously hopeful. DS10, when he heard about, started yelling and saying "no way I'm going....." He doesn't much like surprises, can you tell? When he calmed down I explained more about what we were doing and why, and he said he'd go.
Please pray with us that this will be an good trip, and that DS10 will feel better, and be better able to self-regulate after the therapy. I need to figure out some fun things to do with him, too, so pray for creativity for this tired mama!
Thanks, all!

I don't know if it's still there or not, but there used to be a really neat drive-thru wild animal park along I-44 near Springfield, IIRC.
Will keep you in prayer.
Oh - and of course - the big Bass Pro Shop is in Springfield.

Thanks everyone! Ds10 started amping up tonight..... anxious about the trip tomorrow and the unknown BIT therapy. We're in the process of gettting him settled and to bed. I hope tomorrow goes better. Sure appreciate the prayer.

Update:
Well, we went through the whole BIT protocol with DS10. He got really frustrated at one point and had a mini-tantrum, but then recovered and went back at it. The practitioner was very nice. The BIT itself...... definitely weird.
We're in a "wait and see" mode. At this point DS is doing well, a bit hyper, and happier than usual. He's been singing, hugging, not as defiant. We'll see after more time goes by if there are any permanent changes.
Dh and I spent the time during the BIT watching, praying, and reading. It's our prayer that the Lord uses this, no matter how weird it seems, to bring a measure of healing.
