What a wonderful week this has been! Samantha started her early intervention at the center with Ms. Tara and seemed to do real well. Grandma and Grandpa were here the whole week and got to see both the triumphs and struggles of this journey first hand. They were supportive, compassionate, and very understanding of it all. They witnessed the personal struggle I am having and the lack of strength I have at this point. Samantha took to them with a wonderful acceptance and relished in their presence.
We had a 2nd failed attempt at doing an EEG, but are just going to roll with the punches and move on to the next test on the list. This coming week Sam will be evaluated for in-home ABA therapy. I cannot wait to hear what kind of benefits this program has to offer. Sam's blood work and genetic testing has been put in progress and we should have some results on those here in the next week or two. We are still on the waiting list for a slot in Vanderbilt's speech therapy group. I am hoping in the next month or so we will get a call from them.
Sam woke up this morning with the onset of a cold, but seemed to get better as the day went on. As the evening rolled around though she got stuffed up real bad and I fear a long night is ahead of us.
All in all this week was a great one filled with fun, family, laughter and lots of encouragement. It was just what I think we both needed.
