Weston’s Third Birthday

Weston & Emily as Toddlers

I will never forget Weston’s third birthday. What should have been a day of celebration turned into a moment that changed the course of our lives forever. That day, we had an appointment with a child psychologist to review the results of Weston’s developmental testing.

westons-medical-recordsSitting across from us, the psychologist delivered news that no parent is ever prepared to hear. She said, with an emotionless tone, “We have tallied up the scores from all of the tests, and they show that Weston is severely mentally retarded with an IQ of 43. You need to just take him home and make him comfortable, as he will never live a normal life.”

Her words hit us like a thunderbolt, shattering our hopes and dreams in an instant. I remember the cold, sterile room, the silence that followed her statement, and the way time seemed to freeze. My heart broke into a million pieces, not just for Weston but for the life he would never get to live—the milestones, the joys, the dreams that were now replaced with an uncertain and challenging future. 💔💔

That moment is forever etched in my memory, a pivotal chapter in our journey that I recount in my book, Light in the Darkness: My Search for Meaning. Weston’s story, along with Emily’s, is one I dedicate my life to sharing in the hope that others might avoid the tragic mistakes that led to their injuries. It is my mission to speak out, not for sympathy, but for change—to shine a light on truths too often ignored and give a voice to those who can’t speak for themselves.

Weston and Emily are no longer children; they are adults now, beautiful souls who have taught me the true meaning of unconditional love and resilience. Their lives, though filled with struggles, have a profound purpose. I am so grateful for those who like, share, and support my posts about my children. Together, we can bring awareness and hope.

Westin Autism School

Weston’s Autism Classroom

/0 Comments

Aug 20, 2018 – A rare look at Weston’s Autism classroom and what goes on.

In 2005, it was finally time for Weston to start public schools. When we took him to school that September we were mortified to find a dozen kids with severe autism and one untrained teacher and another untrained aid. We immediately pulled Weston out and enrolled him in a private School in Phoenix where we would drive him 200 mi round trip each week.

The school district paid for it for 2 years at 20,000 plus plus a year. After doing this we decided we wanted to come back to Prescott and live our lives with our family. It made it especially disturbing when we found out the public schools were taking special education money to the tune of $24,600, rolling it over into the general fund and not even spending it on what it was earmarked for.

We decided we would have to leave our hometown of Prescott and find something more suitable for our children educational wise. We move to Columbia Missouri and spent over a quarter of a million dollars in 2 years. Then in 2008 the economy crashed and we were forced to return to our district. The problem for them was Weston and Emily had solid gold IEPs that had to be followed. They of course didn’t end a series of legal maneuvers and lawsuits put an end to their misdeeds and created a big shake up.

For the next 10 years plus we put the fear of God in the school district. What we uncovered I could write a book about. Fast forward now to 2022 and they’re both out of school but they received an incredible education only because of our efforts and a man named Ray. School districts are nothing but money Mills where they launder the money back and forth and who knows where it goes. Prescott unified School district was the worst the absolute worst.

We have done everything humanely possible to ensure that our children would become all they could be despite their injuries. We are so proud of their progress!

 

Weston loves reading books

Weston Loves Reading Books

/0 Comments

In spite of his learning disabilities, Weston loves reading books and even creating videos.

For over 20 years, I was blessed to start each day with Weston at 5:00 a.m., as he’s always been an early riser. His severe hearing impairment, nearly bordering on deafness, makes him quite loud, but he’s incredibly perceptive, reading lips and feeling the vibrations of our voices and music. I often wondered what life would be like without him as part of our daily routine—and now, I know.

Weston is now 26 years old, yet he remains like a 3-year-old in many ways. Though he was born healthy, reactions to his early medical visits left him permanently disabled. Today, he depends on government assistance to meet his needs, receiving $850 a month. And tragically, there are millions like Weston in this world.
I will never stop fighting for the Weston’s of this world!

This is What Severe Autism Looks Like at Age 24

/0 Comments

This is my son, Weston. At nearly 24 years old, he functions at the developmental stage of a three to four-year-old. He is on the autism spectrum and has experienced significant neurological impairments from his childhood doctor wellness visits. Additionally, he is deaf. Despite these challenges, he possesses remarkable intelligence. He is exceptionally gentle and compassionate, never intending to harm anyone. However, he often becomes fixated on repetitive actions that can continue for hours at a time just like this.

The Story Behind the Weston and Emily Memorial Vehicle

/0 Comments

I wanted to put out a video of the story behind the Weston and Emily memorial vehicle I started in 2017.

I started out with a white Rav 4 in 2017. Back then, I got a lot of pushback including people wanting to run me off the road.
Now I have a 2024 Rav 4 that has way more decals and info. Today things have changed because of the convid hoax. Almost no pushback at all. People are really waking now! I almost always get a thumbs up now which is really encouraging.

People are responding and telling me their stories about their kids or grandkids. Lots of vaccine injuries out there.

“Vaccines are unavoidably unsafe” by the governments own admission.

Weston’s favorite activities include anything Disney. He was born perfect, but became autistic after his well baby visits. He operates at the level of a 3 year old even though he is now in his 20’s. He lives in a group home now.

Never Give Up on Your Children

/0 Comments

August 15th 2024. I did this video as Weston’s going to be leaving again for school and his stay at the Hope Haven Ranch in Kirkland Arizona. I do these videos to tell a story a very important one. Do not ever give up on your children no matter how hard it is. You have to keep chipping away for progress and sometimes it seems like it never comes but then you wake up 14 years later and you can say to yourself good job I did the best we could.

Weston Hugs

Last Hug Until Next Time – My Love for Weston

/0 Comments

For 20 plus years Weston did not let anyone touch him for any period of time. As he’s gotten older he’s changed so much. This was my last 10 hug until our paths cross again in a month. Saying goodbye seems to get easier as time goes on knowing that I will see him again and he is so well provided for and loved at the Hope Haven Ranch in Kirkland Arizona! So thankful and blessed at this stage of my life! What more could I desire?

Westin and Emily: Chemically Injured and Neurologically Disabled

/0 Comments
Chemically Injured and Neurologically Disabled – My two children Weston and Emily Wyatt were born perfect on February 2nd 1998 and September 14th 1999. Everything changed after their two four and six month well visits at Ponderosa Pediatrics in Prescott Arizona.
Today Weston is 26 years old and functions neurologically at the level of a 3-year-old and lives in a community living facility with four other severe to profound autistics where he receives 24-hour a day seven day a week care and supervision. He will never live independently. He will never hold a job. He will never drive a car. He will never get married. He will never have a family. Weston classified as severely impacted.
Emily will turn 25 next week and functions neurologically and emotionally at the level of a 8-year-old. She currently lives with us at home where she also requires 24-hour a day care and supervision. She will never hold a job. She will never drive a car. She will never get married. She will never have a family of her own. Emily is classified as moderately impacted.
Please share their stories in hopes that others will not unknowingly make the same mistakes that Joyce and I did over a quarter century ago. If you do be prepared to have your life altered and changed forever. May God help us all!
