Sorry I haven't posed much lately, I find it easy to blog about Autism when things are going good, and Hard to blog when things are not. I hate coming across negative, and when we are having a hard time I feel like my blog is just one big negative blah.
So on the up and up. I just had a meeting with Kellen's case worker and told her all the things that were going on and she approved Kellen for an additional 80hrs a month of Habilitation. YAY!!! this is very good!
So what does that mean?
Our lives revolve around Therapy, with out it Kellen would not be able to make sense of his world. Kellen gets 1hr of Speech Therapy a week, 1hr of Occupational Therapy a week, 20hrs of Habilitation a week, 20hrs of Respite care a week, and goes to Pre-School 3days a week where he receives more OT and Speech.
The fact is that Therapy is apart of life for Kellen, and for any family that has a child with special needs. We don't really get the luxury of just hanging out doing what ever just having fun. Kellen's every day is filled with being engaged, and stimulated. With out it, he would becomes self destructive.

So glad Kellen is getting the help that he needs!! You are such a great mom, I can't imagine the patience it takes to be a parent to a special needs child! Kellen is a lucky boy Ü And I don't know if she told you, but Elizabeth Phillips is my sister in law! Small world! Hope she's doing well with Kellen! Ü
