Today was a big day for Ian at therapy. His Occupatinal therapist told him that he does not need to see her anymore. His final "test" was to cook which he did and ate his own cooking too. This is good news not just because Ian is improving but also because it gives him more time to catch up on school work. Now we need to "graduate" from physical and speech therapy!
Everyday we see new things that Ian remembers. The biggest struggle right now is his energy level. He gets really tired easily.
I just got back from conferences and spoke to most of his teachers. We want to thank all of them for being so supportive and understanding through all this. All of them are willing to work with Ian until he is back full time. A special thank you to Mr. Watkins and Mrs. Patterson for going the extra mile or two and coming to the house to work with Ian. The school Administration has been supportive in more ways than we can count. To the rest of you out there, thanks for all the hugs, prayers and support.
WOW! What large hurdles Ian has made it over. It feels so comforting to hear you tell of his daily progress, no matter how large or small. We continue to pray that god will help Ian find more strength in the days to come. Please tell him what an inspiration we feel he is to those struggling with obstacles in their lives. Again, if you need anything, we would be pleased to help out. We know he can't wait to be back in school & we look forward to the day that you post his update as such. Much Love,
