So that makes all the difference in the world.
We are in a great place, we live in the Atlanta metro area. So, we have had lots of resources at our fingertips. We haven't had to use them much, we have been very lucky.
Dogs are great therapy aren't they. My two love Ethan and they get him up out of bed in the mornings to get him ready for school, and they greet him when he comes home in the afternoons. |
thats great about the swimming...sometimes its the little things that really help
its good that the resources are there to help when/if you need them not all areas of the country have that
and its true...about the dogs being great therapy.... she has really helped me esp through this time and provided a life-long friend for my older more timid son (he has had a tuff time with all this) and my daughter is growing up with her and she is learning to be gentle and kind to animals from jump which is such an important lesson... i am fortunate that my son that is in the residential treatment ctr has a great respect for nature and all creatures so that is thankfully one issue i dont have to worry about when he comes home
