Good Bye and Hello!

Today marked the last day of our physical therapy, yesterday was the last day of speech therapy, and Friday is the end of special therapy. He will be moving on to a new program in January since he is turning 3 this week. I thought that I would be glad for therapy to come to an end. It will be an end to driving to Marshville back and forth and quick cleaning my house before the therapist gets here and I thoroughly embarrass my self. But it has been incredibly sad. These therapists have blessed us so much by their love for Sam and dedication to see him improve. This program has been such a huge help for us when we were so unsure of how to help Sam. I cannot thank them enough. I felt so silly trying to find them gift cards in small amounts. How can you repay someone who loves your child and cheers them on to new levels? Today, as we were leaving his therapy session, I just started to cry having to leave them. Don't worry, they all have seen me cry many times. I guess that is another reason why it is hard. They know and understand the difficulties Sam has faced and the ones he will face. They have heard my worries and my hopes for Sam. Thank you God for bringing each of them into our lives! My mission is to get the word out about this wonderful program so that it can help other families as much as it has helped us.

Sam has finished up all evaluations and has been placed in a class starting in January. He will be going to "school" Monday through Friday and will be receiving his therapy there. He will be eating breakfast and lunch there. I was able to go and visit last week and was very impressed. This is a tough decision to make but we feel that this is the best for our Sam. I have heard so many great things about this program and wonderful testimonies on how much it has helped different children. So, we are going to give it a try. But we are sure that Sam will love this especially since the room is like a huge playroom with an art center, a music center, cars, and balls,etc... The teachers were very nice and seemed to love what they do. But. it's still going to be incredibly hard to send him.
