Dylan

Dylan is in a pretty good place right now, other than non verbal, meltdowns, messy, and sometimes potty trained. He is a joy to be around when he is laughing and playing with his family. when he is anywhere that has water play and when he is cuddly.. God is Good. I took the following from a blog of a family with an autistic son.(The lesson he teaches us in how when it comes to God, we should always expect the unexpected! We should always expect to find miracles in the darkest valley. Peace among chaos. Beauty in the sometimes ugliness of life). Prayers said every day that we can help Dylan and make his life easier.

Dylan

I think Dylan came into our lives at a time when we all needed to know what was important in life. Faith, Health, Family. We would never have appriciated the simple things in life as much, a quite day, a simple hug, laughter from a child, enough patience for the day, family.. Our family has become very close. We know that we can reliy on each other and sometimes you need to give in order to receive. Life hasn't been easy for the past 11 years on Crystal, Dylan and Chloe. Crystal just got married to a wonderful man who thinks of Dylan as his son. So many divorces come when there is a disabled child involved. Travis seems like the kind of man who can handle just about anything and be a good partner for Crystal and a great dad for Dylan and Chloe. A new chapter in The Hinnen-Henderson family has begun.

Dilly's Place 1st annual Glow Ball Golf Tournament 2010

Dilly's Place is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in Sumner County. Dilly's Place was started with $20 and a prayer.This Playground will be designed and constructed of materials that include play for all children, including those with disabilities. The Conway Springs City Council is providing the Northeast corner of the city park for Dilly's Place, which is located at 8th and Wichita street, Conway Springs, Kansas. The dimentions of the playground will be 119'6" long(including hadicap parking) by 62'6" wide. There are 9 pieces of equipment planned maybe more.

Total Funding Goal:$327,308

(1) $130,000 equipment (2)$65,000 for surfacing the floor (3) $35,000 for concrete, excluding the handicap parking (4) $10,000 for fencing (we hope some of the fencing will be donated) (5)$15,000 for site work (6) $6,418 for 2% admin fee for fundraising costs and (7) $65,890 (for the cost of the land that has already been donated)

As of 3/21/2011 we have raised $27,216.81. This is after our 2% in admin fees which include application for 501(c)(3), lawyer fees, CPA fees. This whole project is completely volunteer. No one gets paid. Everything goes toward this wonder park. Our community is very involved in this project and we are hoping to get our County involved more also.

We have several fundraisers coming up.

City Wide garage sale (we serve hamburgers, hot dogs, Mark's famous slaw dogs, drinks and chips) We try and have a silent auction, and we try to get rid of anything that has been made and donated. Lots of tie blankets still.

It's cold outside!

Recently a blizzard blew into our small town. Dylan was last seen in his bedroom watching a movie. Within a few minutes he had gone outside with no shoes on, a blanket on him. The gate must have blown open from the winds. Dylan got out through the gate. People noticed him, they had a hard time even driving, They saw him fall. he was heading to the Caseys store. Him and I walk over there sometimes. Someone saw him and brought him home. THANK YOU! You were his angel and ours that day. A tradgedy could have happened.

Getting help for Dylan

Could you imagine getting a little help from Social Security for your severely Autistic son and they send you a letter saying they over paid you during the summer when you were off from teaching school. Now Dylan will get around $100 a month which won't even cover his pull ups. Crystal has a college education with two majors. She is head pre -school teacher and Director over the pre -school at the Center for the Arts. She gets minimal amount from her ex husband to take care of the kids. She struggles. What does the Country want these parents to do? The ones who take care of their kids by themselves. Go on public Assistance????????? Come on. She is able to work and wants to work. But she needs help. Come on America.... Wake up. Let's take care of our disabled and elderly. God Bless from a frustrated Grandma.

Dylan is going through a good phase right now. His sister Chloe is having test run on her thyroid so I guess he trying to be on his best behavior. He stood and peed on my living room floor yesterday. My fault I should have reminded him to go to the bathroom. Most of the time he will go to the rest room himself to poddy. He is healthy right now so we are happy.. Also not allot of crying. Crystal is worn out.First one kid then the other. She has wide shoulders that can carry allot of burdens. They are sagging a bit so cheer her up... right a comment to her or go to Dillysplace on facebook. Thanks . Or a simple prayer for Crystal and Chloe and Dylan.
