omg.
i know it has been SO LONG since i last posted, but i was feeling superstitious about writing on the blog about son #2's autism stuff and not hearing about if he was determined disabled and able to get on the waitlist for funding for intensive in-home therapy... sorry for that sentence. anyhoo, we got word (5 months later!) that he was indeed determined disabled and now we can start that process to hop on that waiting list!
yes, the waiting list is like a little over a year long, but at least we will be on it.
PHEW.
i know son #2 will benefit greatly from intensive in-home therapy. even though he has been making lots of progress, i still think it will be really helpful :) he has made a lot of changes in the last 5 months! he is high-fiving, responding to his name a little more, singing songs, making more eye contact, imitating more, and just doing normal 2 year old things like getting mad and upset and caring about things :-)
it was very exciting for son #1 to start school again last week. he has also been making a lot of progress with his speech and understanding; he is like turning into a little man or something! crazy.
:)
i want to share my stories of life as a mom with two boys that have developmental delays. but also to maybe get insight from others and give insight to others. life is funny, sad, frustrating, joyful, and all those other good and bad emotions that people who feel things know about. and even though i was always weary of blogging, i think it is going to be strangely therapeutic and help me get through all the things that are happening in my family's life right now... thanks for listening :)
