A week...

It has been a week since I posted. I am done with my much needed rest and ready for the next stretch. We are approximately six months away from meeting Faith's new psychiatric service dog. I have only raised 30% of the funds, however I have learned so much and have raised way more awareness already than I could have imagined. So this new mission in life has begun successfully. Last Friday we had an appointment with Dr. Glasscock. It was a great appointment, we worked on the necessary paperwork to start the IEP process for Faith. Yesterday she was back there to do two hours worth of testing for him. We have a meeting with the school district next week and it will start the clock on us having a completed IEP within 45 days. I hope I said that correctly, just in case I will have Renae read this and I will repost corrections. We have started a new ritual at night to help the entire family. We eat dinner at six and shut down the house at 7pm. Faith reads stories to the family, I had to substitute one evening, but overall it has been a new great routine. Everyone has enjoyed the time together and it has helped Faith have a smooth transition to sleep. We still need a lot of work on our five year old Abbi. When all the tv's get turned off and it is time to settle down she takes on a mirror resemblance of her father and thinks that means it is time to entertain the household. If Tess has my obnoxious smarty pants personality (that is the best way to describe it) then Abbi has gotten my talk just to hear myself talk trait. The Forchione household resembles a comedy club most of the time, I just we could make a living selling tickets. So to sum it up, things are going well. Things are very busy and we struggle to stay on top of everything. I will start keeping up with this and thanks for your support! Kris
