School IEP Today

Today, mom and aunt attended Brittney's IEP at school with her teacher, class aids and therapists. They were all super happy and amazed at the progress Brittney has made in one month's time.

One of our biggest concerns was that when school gets out next month, what would she do for the summer in her rehabilitation. Well, the team suggested that mom enrolls Brittney in the summer program where she will attend school two days a week and get additional therapy.

They were all confident that Brittney will continue on her path to recovery in leaps and bounds. (This comes from a team of professionals who work with kids with all types of disabilities all the time.)

We're overjoyed at the progress Brittney has made thus far, and we too are confident that she will continue to excel and go beyond all of our expectations.

Over the last week, she started speaking in sentences again as well. "Hey, Brandon." "I'm so sleepy." "You better leave him alone." ... and much more and all relevant. She's also started eating again... only snacks here and there.

One of the things we're most proud of is that the Lord has surrounded Brittney with people of faith at school. And also people who are aggressive in her rehabilitation. We learned a long time ago that passivity is not the way to go with Brittney in her recuperation. She needs stern guidance and direction during this time. So, we are pleased.

Our prayer focus is that Brittney continues to go over and beyond all expectations in walking, talking and in the goals that were set in her IEP today. We're confident that she will do well.

Thank you for your continued prayer support.
