We Have a Winner!

I am proud to announce that T-Rex is graduating from therapy. After one year of hard work she is ready to move to monthly meetings for a couple of months and then she's done.

Did I mention hard work? Her therapist says "the amount of change in her is immeasurable." She's like a different kid.

Yes, there are still ghosts of the attachment ickies in her--a harder time transitioning, a somewhat aggressive personality, fear of new situations. But we haven't seen a rage in forever and even the hissy fits are few and far between. She's even able to get herself out of a bad mood. Did you hear that? Get herself out of a bad mood. There are adults who never mastered that.

So she'll keep her one-on-one helper at church, she still has to stay away from artificial dyes (i.e. kool-aid, hard candy) and we will still need to work on forming bonds, creating neuron pathways, but.....my baby done graduated. Wahooooooooo!
