Celebrate

Yesterday was Rylan’s last day of occupational therapy at Gillette’s. He has been discharged as a result of obtaining his goals. The therapist is very pleased with the progress that he has made in the last several months. We have been provided items to continue to work on with Rylan. The only remaining therapy at Gillette’s is speech which will continue.

We also had his 6 month review this morning with the Help Me Grow team. These are the services Rylan gets in our home weekly. We have a teacher, physical therapist and speech therapist that come to the house and provide support and education on how we can help Rylan developmentally. When we first met we wrote a list of outcomes we were hoping to achieve within the next 12 months. As we reviewed them at the half way point this morning I was floored at what progress we have made. When you are trucking along everyday you don’t stop to notice how much things have changed you focus on what is happening in the moment or what should be happening. Today while we were discussing his outcomes it was clear just how far we have come in the past 6 months and it brings tears to my eyes. We wanted him to walk, communicate and understand us and he is doing all of it. We still have lots of areas to continue to work on but the support and education we have received thus far have made a huge impact not only on Rylan but the whole family. Thank you for helping us grow, the weekly support has been monumental in his progress. The rest of those remaining outcomes and new goals better watch out because here he comes.

We couldn’t be more proud of this little man; we will be celebrating tonight going somewhere real nice….like Wendy’s J
