Great News

The last time I received a phone call from my doctor it wasn't news I wanted to hear. Last week she called with great news. At my last appointment she said that she still wanted me to go for the special heart ultrasound. She said that after talking with the heart specialist they agreed that it wasn't necessary for me to go unless my normal ultrasound showed something wrong with the heart rate. My doctor thinks that everything will be fine. We think so too! I was so thrilled to call David and tell him..the whole time he has reassured me and let me know everything will be okay! He has such a positive outlook on things when I only see the bad.

My classes are officially over until January. But one of my teacher sent us this.

I truly love teaching, really teaching special needs. I know some days are difficult but I will take the bad with the good. I love how it took 4 months to teach one of my kids subtraction but last we he did it on his own! I love how it took 3 months to teach one of my non-verbal kiddos to sign his my name is ________! I love that I taught my anger issue kid what to do when he gets mad and how to stay calm and how he can't start the day without telling me a story or leave without giving me hug! I am truly enjoying each day I spend with them and I would take a few home with me if I could. Many times people think the these kids will be a burden on society yes, some of my students will have to go live in a home when their parents can no longer provide care for them. Others will live a great life and function on their own and if I can teach one thing to my students it is that they are loved and are here for a purpose.
