Things are happening ~

Rob is definitely beginning to want to do more. He gets outside to water the vegetables at least once a day. He likes to take Mei-li out for walks. We went for a walk together with the dog this evening, which was nice. We never had this kind of 'quality' time together. :)
We attended our first Traumatic Brain Injury Support Group this evening. We were the only ones there, which actually turned out to be fantastic. The Group is run by therapists that Rob will be working with at Day Kimball. The two who were there tonight were the Speech Therapist and the Physical Therapist. So, we got to discuss our situation with them on a personal level. They heard about Rob's accident, too, so they now have a face to put with it. They, too, agree that he's doing tremendously, considering his injury was just over a month ago. It's very encouraging. :)
They're going to make sure we have the resources and referrals we need to benefit our family. There's a physiatrist they're going to have us meet with who comes up from Lawrence & Memorial on Tuesdays. They're also going to refer us to a relationship counselor in the Community Services building at DKH, since we have a unique situation with both of us disabled they feel that we would benefit from being able to discuss personal issues with a professional. They're also going to find some resources for the children to be able to discuss their feelings about our family circumstances.
It worked out really well that we were able to have an hour to talk about what Rob needs specifically. The therapists got to know us and we got to know them a little bit. They showed us where Rob's therapies will be and gave me a secret parking spot. ;)
Tomorrow morning is Rob's Occupational Therapy evaluation. That therapist wasn't there tonight, but we heard about her and it was all positive. I was told that there would be a schedule for his other therapy evaluations and possibly some sessions left for me tomorrow because the lady who schedules will be on vacation until after the holiday weekend and wanted to make sure Rob got scheduled for his therapies.
Unfortunately, my neurologist will be out of the office Thursday, so Rob's appointment had to be put off for another week. We're going to start getting really busy now! I'm sure there will be therapies scheduled next week, plus we start aquatic therapy together next Wednesday, then the neurologist appointment is Thursday afternoon...Pretty much the whole month of September looks likes it's going to be keeping us on our toes. :P
