Meeting with the School/Doctors

The team of doctors/therapists met with the school and Jenny and Matthew yesterday. The meeting went very well. Without too much detail, the school was willing to accomodate every request the doctors put forth for Isabella's return. She will begin attending on September 8th. Prior to that, she will have someone coming to help her at home. Also, she will have a full-time aid at first. She will be seated in the front of the classroom and away from any distractions. Of course she will not be granted permission to participate in outdoor recess or P.E., so she will have accomodations needed there as well. Academically, they will work with her to determine the best course of action for her, testing strategies, etc. Jenny was very pleased with the meeting and just kept saying how great the school was for being so willing. I am, once again, beside myself with awe in a God who works out details even to the most minute aspect...
You can pray for Isabella that she will continue to develop her cognitive skills, making bridges between questions and answers.
She will begin outpatient therapy soon. Dayton Children's Hospital (where she was initially after the accident) will do physical therapy once a week and speech therapy twice a week. She will also be getting speech/occupational therapy at her school.
Tomorrow Isabella comes home. They will have a special "graduation" for her before she leaves. I wish so much I could be there. My heart is once again torn and aching, but also overwhelmed with grateful emotions that she is coming home.... Praise God for this huge step in development. He is forever moving us forward. If you haven't already recognized Him, acknowledged Him, or praised Him for how He works in your life, do so today. Nothing is more important...
Thank you for praying for the Laird family. I, as writer of this blog, am praying for you, each reader, that you would be somehow touched by this blog and spurred on toward knowing God more...
