Cole has had another change in his schedule. We were not happy with just doing two days a week at the Jackson Center. It was just not enough time. So we decided to try an intensive 3 weeks where Cole would go everyday. He started Nov. 28. Mon., Wed., and Fri he went 9-12 and Tues., Thurs. 9-3. We weren't sure how this change would effect him or us, but we were pleasantly surprised at the way Cole adapted to the new schedule. He was happier and more alert. Less sleepy. More talkative. Stood up straighter. Used his hands more purposefully. He was really amazing. And in anything in life we know that the more you practice, the better you get at something. No surprise there. So we have decided to continue with this schedule. It has given a new meaning to Mom's Taxi. I average around 100 miles a day in the car. I know this commitment right now will allow Cole to have a more fulfilling, independent life in the future. It is a small price to pay.
