full of hope

so not only is today one of the most wonderful days in american history but it was also full of hope for this growing family of ours.

the doctor said we may have the wrong diagnosis and MUCH potential for our son to make progress. apparently the years of neglect have cause dysfunction in his his excecutive fuctioning skills. basically, he can learn to process that which he can't process now. OT will help him integarte new items (like food) into his sensory diet.

he has an IQ of 110. he has the processing skills of a 4 year old but this can and will change.
with time, with maturity. he will be able to learn to have social relationships. he will make friends. and keep them. he wil pass third grade, and every grade to come with extra support at school and home. we can help him learn. and grow. and thrive.

between obama's inaguration and the news from the doctor today, i haven't stopped crying tears of happiness. nor have i been this full of hope in such a long time. so many good things are in store: for my son, my family, for us ALL.

i am so thankful to be alive!
