Special Thanks

As I mentioned in the last entry, county early intervention therapists have treated Callie in our home for the last two years.  She received weekly PT, OT, and speech therapy.  We were fortunate to have excellent therapists who put their hearts into helping Callie.  I think it is worth repeating that they truly cared about her, worked very hard during her sessions, and got genuinely excited as she progressed.  This week was bittersweet as we said good-bye to them after our last sessions before she transitions to the county special education preschool next week.  I will always be grateful to these ladies who were some of the first to help Callie after she was diagnosed in 2010.  They were also like therapists to me as I shed tears during the early days when my heart was broken and more recently helped & supported me through our challenging IEP process.  I will miss our conversations and the personal touch of having individuals work with Callie in our home.  Alana, Marcela, Johanna and Sharon, thank you for everything you have done to help our special baby girl.
