9-16-11 (Friday) PRAISE - Get ready for goosebumps

I have always said I have a legion of angels watching over me, with the many times I have "near missed" issues in life. Isaac apparently has many legions, and the latest only attests to that.

As the last day of insurance coverage arrived, we were wondering if they would approve more time for him to be 24/7 at OCH. He is still getting major help, still not out of the impulsive stage, still not verbal (greatly), and still a risk at night if he decides to get up when everyone else is asleep.

Our OCH case worker placed a call to the insurance company to speak with the insurance case worker personally. He and the insurance respondent discovered they grew up two blocks from each other, are about the same age, have the same friends and many memories. Needless to say, Grace brought them together with a common bond, and through their concerted efforts we now have TWO MORE WEEKS of time to recuperate at the facility, if necessary!!!!

He slept well and even joked around this morning about taking his medicine with the nurse. He's now eating bacon and frosted flakes. (for breakfast) Trying to keep him on task since he has OT at 8:30

He finished the eggs, bacon, and cereal.... We then washed up, dressed, brushed teeth, deodorized, and brushed hair. We then spent time with mommy before Jason came for us. 

His demeanor.... is much more "Isaac-like". He joked around with the nurse, and speech was clearer, too. He was also wanting to do stuff "myself".

Today we lost our favorite OT, who finished and is now going back to school. He spent 45 minutes in Isaac's room, after the session, and didn't want to leave.

Dad, Brea, and Jesse weathered the rain, and for part of the way no wipers, to bring Isaac and mom some dinner since theirs was not something they enjoyed. We stayed and watched Spy Kids before having to leave.
