Almost here...

   I got a call from the doctor today... Landon's results are ready, so we are going to meet with her on Thursday. I am thrilled she was able to get us in so quick and I am tired of waiting, but I am scared too... this is going to change everything. I don't know what I want it to be; I know I can't change it, and I have pushed so hard for answers, but now I am afraid to hear them. We have to go alone, without him, I guess thy do that so if parents break down or freak out, the kids aren't there to see it. So it won't be long now. 

   His therapist said he had a great session yesterday. I took my mom with me so she could see the place and what they do. He was thrilled I was getting my family involved, he said people don't do it enough and they always encourage it. He said he seems less hesitant each time he comes in, and relaxes and becomes more sure of himself. A lot of the things he is still wary about, but I think he is getting there. I am so grateful to these people, they don't understand what a difference they are making in our lives. They are always so great with these kids; they never act like it is a job to them or to the parents. He showed me some more things to do with him at home, we have starting a brushing technique on his whole body with a surgical scrub brush, it helps the senses, and it is also like getting a massage for him, especially for his back, which he loves to have rubbed and scratched anyhow. I am supposed to do this at least 3 times a day. 

   Halle went with us yesterday, she liked the place too. I think she would be ok there if I had to bring her, and I may from time to time. But I find it easier to leave her with someone, as much as she doesn't like it, because I think that time is important for me and Landon. I want to be able to talk with and watch demonstrations without having to chase her or let her do it too. I know she doesn't understand, and I don't blame her, but I think I am just going to keep it as it is, with her not going all the time. 

   That's it for now!
