Hello all...just a quick update as it is past 1:30 am and I need to try and get in some more sleep before morning.
In my last post I enumerated some things that were (and are) frustrating to me. I have an update and it is of the good variety!
Received a phone call yesterday from MMI (the clinic). Our first scholarship (as I know I'm going to have to get more) arrived today. Rueben starts treatment tomorrow for 1 1/2 hours each day 5 days a week. As a result, he will be missing half a day, each day of school. This will solve a lot of issues. The faster he gets treatment, the better student, boy, person, son etc. he will be and will be able to excel better and have a better grip on life. Also, missing school each afternoon will be able to concentrate all of his education needs into the morning. Less stress, less down time as he can't seem to function if not busy with work, and it will give his teachers a much needed break from him each afternoon. That way, I don't think that they will feel as pressured as I have been lately. Burned out teachers leads to poor treatment of our children, special needs and otherwise and I don't want that for anyone. Rueben will be re-integrated at the point that he can function better. This is months and months down the road though. The clinic will even come to the school and "teach" the teachers, which they are VERY positive about and look forward to, which is nice.
The scholarship covers one month's treatment at the clinic. So, please keep praying into our fundraising. It will not get to a point where Rueben will be kicked out of the clinic for non-payment, but it will make our lives miserable and we don't need anymore of that garbage!
Will update on Randy's surgery when I have one....hopefully tomorrow!!
You can't see me doing the happy dance, but I am...and have been all day. I'm sure my neighbors thought I had turned into a crazy person doing the jitter bug literally all day in and out of my house!
