Good News!

Joseph and Joshua are doing great. We got all the kids new shoes recently as their feet are growing so fast. Several of the kids have had growth spurts. Joshua has gotten taller too. Joseph had his lowest pressures for his pulmonary hypertension that we have ever seen and is doing just fabulous. Joseph has had no chest pain, no episodes turning blue and has needed no oxygen at all for quite a while, which is very exciting to see him doing so well. Joseph is also learning words!!! We have seen him writing words in his pictures and a great desire to learn to read stories, which we are working on with him.

God bless you,

Remarkable Progress

I just wanted to write a note of encouragement to all of you with special needs children to keep advocating for your children. For children with behavioral, emotional, post adoption issues, neurological disorders or mental illness, I have found that consistency is extremely important. My daughter is 12 years old and is doing remarkably well. That is not to say that she still does have her issues, but I am so proud of her progress. We have not seen any major meltdowns in quite some time. She is even making good progress in her schoolwork. We homeschool, and I have never once regretted my decision to do that. I wish I had down it sooner because it really gave us the ability to target behaviors and work on improving those.

Regards,
Jennifer Richardson
