Today Is My Happy Day

We started giving Dominick a liquid vitamin supplement almost two months ago.  Since then the progress Dominick has made is INCREDIBLE!  Just this past Saturday he made a friend in Gymboree, Ricky.  He played and interacted with him.  And he even participated a little in the activities.  This is a first for Dominick.  Other than Sage, my four year old nephew, Dominick doesn't have anything to do with other children.  He likes older kids a lot better than kids his age.  Then today at Gymboree he blew me away.  He did every single activity.  He sang the songs, he did all the activities, he talked to Miss Terry and Miss Susan, he played with Blake and Gretchen and he answered the questions when Miss Terry asked him something.


I truly believe that the vitamins are making a difference.

Last Thursday Ashlee from Easter Seals came by the house for the first time.  She is Dominick's in home therapist.  From the moment she walked in Dominick fell in love with her.  She brought over a lot of toys to play with Dominick.  She did an evaluation and asked me a ton of questions.  She went over a plan for Dominick and his treatment and therapy.

She is setting up genetic counseling and testing for him.  She is setting up ABA therapy workshop for us which Easter Seals will pay, thank goodness because WOW the cost!  She is setting up Speech and Occupational Therapy with Tega Speaks which is right down the street from us.  She is setting up Dominick to enroll in the school system.  She is getting us enrolled in financial help programs for help with all the therapies.  Baby Net will end when he turns 3 so she is trying to get it extended for us until he is age 5.

Ashlee called me this morning and in just one business day she managed to get us in with Tega Speaks for the Speech Therapy.  He might have to go to another Occupational Therapist because of the waiting list at Tega Speaks but she is checking and will let me know later today and she already has an alternate lined up in Pineville.  She has already got an appointment for us to have an evaluation with York County Schools on Friday.

Ashlee will be coming over every Wednesday for one hour of therapy.  I LOVE HER!  In one day she has accomplished more for me than any Doctor Dominick has seen. She is my HERO!

Today is a great day.  Today is my happy day.  Thank you Vitamins.  Thank you Ashlee.  And best of all THANK YOU DOMINICK FOR BLESSING MY LIFE.

You have to have the bad days to remind you of how great the good days are.  My friend Michelle told me that.  Thanks.
