So, today was my first "day off" of work in almost six days....not counting last week when we realized we had no caregiver anymore due to personal reason......So, starting last monday, it was me and shawn....and I was scheduled with Dr Larry last Monday, and overtime with my job in Ft Lupton - Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.....BUT, we held it together and made it through, though yesterday was not the greatest job performance for me....had to leave "on time" and not stay late, and got all but four of my over load of surgies done....had to come home for two reasons - sleep deprivation due to stress, and an interview for a caregiver.
The caregiver seemed very sweet and had MUCH experience with brain injured children....it is her passion and she hopes to open a clinic someday for pediatric brain injured kids.....I hope she will decide to work for us. We have learned some things about drawing the line between friends and caregivers - very hard lesson - very painful lesson - as I do care very much for Julia's former caregiver.....
Today, the ABA therapist came out....she is coming tomorrow and friday, and then wants to start may 9th - FIVE DAYS A WEEK! WOW, more than what I was expecting, but I think it will be worth it....the therapist seems very knowledgable and is excited to work with Julia. YAY!
During all of the ABA chaos, we also had a child proofer here at the house and the house is like Fort Knox.....the adults can't even figure it all out! Haha! My mom suggested asking Julia to open everything for us...she is good at child proof things!
Also during all of this (child proofer here, ABA therapist here, etc), Dr Larry stopped by to drop off my "new" Dr bag to start working with Caring Pathways! YAY! I'm on Friday and Monday...and then one to two monday's a month until things pick up! YAY! So excited to start doing some of this work!!! I hope things pick up with his business so I can do more!
Julia has been ROCKING with her Ipad!!!! She is showing great strides!
BUSY day, but very good day!
Susan and Julia
