A great weekend...

I did not want to jinx our good fortunes or Faith's. We have had a great couple days. I have noticed Faith's ability to stop herself before going into a meltdown. To be honest she has even transitioned pretty good in the evening. We still seem to walk around on egg shells but maybe we are turning a corner on this issue. We have an appointment in Nashville this week at Vanderbilt University with a neurologist, we just want to rule out all possibilities. It has taken us a long time to get this referral, not because the doctors did not want to refer her, but because the waiting list is over a year. I will keep you posted on how it goes. I will also keep you posted on how she does of course. We also are going to start working this week on her IEP to figure out how we are going to get her into the new school. Hopefully we can get the correct paperwork done so that the school district will pay for her to go to it. However, if that is going to take six months I hope to figure out a way to get her into this private school. Between the service dog, military pay, Renae not working, and the cost of the school, that will be a tough thing to do. I believe so it shall happen somehow. Renae has always said I am a dreamer, that is true, but I also am not a quitter. I have always told my kids if you want something bad enough do not settle for one no, work until you know you have tried every possible solution, then you can accept no because you know you have given it EVERYTHING you had before accepting it.
