Tomorrow will mark 4 continuous days of therapy for Samuel. He is adjusting pretty well, but there are many tears- mine included. When he comes home in the afternoons, he melts down terribly. He cries and wants to be comforted, yet is torn and wants to get down and explore. His head banging increases ten fold, and he is just worn out. I know the staff at his school is awesome to him and with him, so I am fairly certain that it is the change in routine and structure that has him so distraught. I am praying that he will adjust quickly and become used to this new way of life and learning.
My sweet pea Maggie has had such a good week at school. She was so excited about her science class, because they were making mealworm habitats. Eeek! Her table named one of their mealworm “families,” the Pickles. Fourth graders are so silly! She can’t wait for them to turn into beetles. She should have named them John, Paul, George, and Ringo, but her mama is old school.
Gross picture of the mealworm life cycle. Ha! Never stop learning!
Who I still see everyday when my 9.5 year old gets in the car after school. I can’t help it. My little baby is not little anymore.
My dad’s mom came for a visit this week, and Samuel got to meet his paternal great grandmother for the first time. It was nice, and my sister and nephew came to eat with us last night while she was here. I am upset that I forgot to take a picture of my Grandma and my kids. I cannot believe I didn’t just naturally do it! I’m the picture over-doer.
Here is an older picture of Grandma and her terrifying yorkie, Duffy.
The GoFundMe page is now up to $460, thanks to some of the nicest friends in the world. If everyone could be so lucky….
So, that’s the update. Praying for a good rest of the week and for a well family.
Here is the link for the page, again. Thank you all for contributing and sharing.
