What a Difference One Day and Prayer Makes

If only you could hear how happy and excited and thankful I am as I type this!!!!

I got a call today from Aiden's school. They want to have him there for five days a week- not three. They also now have a morning spot, so we can put him in that slot. AND- Speech Therapy is starting on Monday. AND- we have requested for a driver so that my mom (his daycare) doesn't have to do it. AND- he is also getting an OT evaluation as well!

THIS IS HUGE!!! I am so thankful for all of it. He needs it, his memere needs it, his brother needs it and his mommy and daddy need it. His behavior and delays affect all of us. This will also mean that Eli will get one-on-one with his memere and will also get fewer pushes and hits. It also means that Eli will have a more consistent nap time schedule. It also means that Aiden can still get a nap in the afternoon and not be so exhausted which just leads to more fighting, etc. It is so HUGE!!!

I am anxious to go to the school at the end of the month so that we can start to implement the behavior modifications they have been using with him at home so that we are all on the same page.

PHEW!

The weight is lifting people...it is lifting!!!

Is the driver a definite, or do you have to wait and see? This is just awesome!!!

Just have to wait and see at this point on the drive. The request has been put in. That could take a while.

This a great step. Getting more DT is the best thing for him. The other great part about school 5 days a week he will be on the road to be ahead or even with the others fortunate enough to go to preschool with his peers when it comes to kindergarten! You'll see such a difference as the weeks go by and your head will spin. I'm so happy for you all. As for the driver program it a wonderful volunteer program and it will work out. We had to wait forever (almost 6 months) but we live up in the middle of nowhere. Let me know if he qualifies for OT as well because with DT, Speech and OT there are lots of new things that open up for you guys.
