Yesterday Hope started school two days a week. She goes to the achievement center to a classroom instead of having her physical and speech therapy at home. Both of her therapists thought it would be a good idea to get her in a classroom and help her develop some social skills while getting the therapies she needs. It did take some convincing on their part to get me to agree because I really liked the convenience of having her therapy done at home. I was also worried about how she would do because she is not real great when I take her to the sitter or even have a relative babysit her.
She did great! No crying when I left, but she was really happy to see me when I picked her up. She talked like crazy to the speech therapist...that is amazing because she usually only talks to me or close family. She even ate snacks with the group and I am thrilled about that! I am hoping this will open her up a little and give her some confidence in talking and around other kids.
She is so sweet! I'm glad she had a good first day. :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww... so sweet with her big backpack. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I have been guided to your blog - I don't know how I found it but your story is just what I needed. My unborn son was diagnosed 4 weeks ago with HLHS - and then 2 weeks ago we got more bad news that his heart is even more complicated and the doctors are unsure he will make it to birth. I've been struggling with this blanket of depression and sadness and total lack of hope - but there she is! HOPE! Thank you for this gift that is your blog! I've read all the way back - about your diagnoses, and your birthplan that I will probably have to emulate, and then her miraculous 2nd kidney. Anything is possible!thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures! She is so cute. Very glad the transition is going well.
ReplyDeleteAwesome news! She is really just making so many strides right now! I am so glad ;)
