Sleep makes everything better!

OK, OK, OK my world is not over. I realized last night that I am always going to have small set backs, but that it is for my own good and the Lord is just trying to make me the person he wants me to be. My wonderful Mother-in-law told me to sit and have a good cry, eat some ice cream, and watch a good movie and go to bed and it would be better when I woke up. She was right I can see the light again. In the end I knew that my head therapist was going to move into the consulting role and cut back her hours, it just happened a little fast then I thought. It just pushed me to find a new therapist a little bit faster. So in the end it is a good thing I think. Anyway, I am now on to my next challenge and that is to find a 3rd therapist to help with some of the hours. I know I will find the right people and it will be OK, Tucker is going to get better we can do this.

When you Think all is well!! BAMA

Just when I think everything is going well, my head therapist tells me she found a new job. It was like I was walking down a hall and I could see the light at the end on the hall and then out of no where someone slams a door in my face and I have to find a new path. She can still do some hours but not as many so i don't know what to do. I guess the hunt is on to find a new therapist and to get them trained. I was really feeling like I was getting my family life under control and then this happens and now I have to start all over again. I know that he has to have ABA and there is just not a lot of option here so I will do what I have to. I could use all your prayers to find something wonderful.

ABA is Amazing!!!

ABA is amazing! I wish I had started sooner. When we first found out about PDD-NOS and that Tucker had it, I started to do my research to see how we could best help him. ABA keep coming up and I just keep putting it to the back of my mind in hopes that there was something that would be easier to do with him. Then it seemed like we keep hitting brick wall after brick wall. Then one day I read something that said if you start ABA for at least 20 hours a week before the age of 3 1/2 you have a higher chance of recovering your child. In that moment I knew that I had to do whatever it took to get Tucker ABA. So for us that meant we had to start our own home program. When you first think about that it feels like there is no way anyone can do that, but the Lord is always there to guide you to where you need to be. I was guided to the best consultant in El Paso and I really mean that she is the best here. Then I found the best therapist and she has years of experience with ABA, can you believe that I found these great people in El Paso. Anyway, we have been doing the program for 2 weeks and it is amazing in that short amount of time how far he has come. He is one really smart little boy. It is so cool to see him trying so hard to speak and ask me for things. I know this is what I was looking for and it was the answer to my prayers. Some days are bad and I think does the Lord even hear me, but he hears and he is so willing to give when we are willing to listen and do what he wants us to do. I love my T-Man and he will be ok someday I just know it. As for now we will continue to do ABA and biomedical intervention and everyday watch as he improves.
