The next 2 days are going to be HARD

malcivar · August 2012

Our Early Intervention service coordinator called in to do her final check-in with us and to say good bye. I seriously almost cried while on the phone with her. These people have been with us through the most difficult period of our lives as parents (so far). It's going to be hard to let go.

Our last day of EI is tomorrow, then it's off to the next adventure.

It was such a sad, scary and exciting process when my DD was discharged from EI (she is 5 now). Hang in there... it will get easier!

Im envious of those of you who will miss your EI. We had so many quit on us and our service coordinator was always just so so. I think thats normal for our county though, I have never heard any good about our EI.

We started school last week and Im so much happier! I hope it will go well for you guys!!

We're going to be there soon with my DS as he'll transition out about a month before his 3rd birthday since our SLP is going on maternity leave and we're not going to get a new SLP for 1 month. However, my DD just started with EI a few months ago so we'll still see all DS's caseworkers/SLP for DD. I feel like I'm going to be in EI forever. lol.

*hugs* For us ds1 was in EI for such a short time (only 6 months) that leaving his pre-school was the hardest for us. Now ask me in about 9 months how I feel about ds2 ending EI and I might just feel the same.

Well, that's it - he's done. He took the long bus ride home for the last time. I know he doesn't understand today's significance and probably won't even notice that next week he'll be getting on a different bus with different kids and going to a different place - or maybe he will, we'll see next week. I doubt it though - he seems to take things in stride. He never fussed when he had to suddenly start going to 'school' and didn't fuss when they changed his driver and matron etc. Nor did he fuss when he changed from his special instructor to his ABA therapist. We'll see what next week brings.

As luck (bad luck) would have it, Chris isn't feeling well today so he's ending on a 'down' note. I was hoping he could have one last fun session with his ABA therapist this afternoon but it will most likely be cut short as he's under the weather. :-(

This chapter is done - next one begins. I'm scared - I don't know how he's going to take it but I'm hopeful that my worries will be for not and he'll take to his new environment. My little boy's growing up. *sniffle*
