Today, I need help remembering all the many times God has given me strength through the journey that is The Therapy Place. Today we received word that a large funder is not going to be able to help us out like we had thought. A lot of our dreams hinged on this happening...we receive calls daily from families wishing to sign their kids up for traditional as well as innovative therapies...we have received word that yet another pediatric therapy center is closing in the midlands...we have therapists ready to be hired because they like the family-centered philosophy as opposed to what they called "assembly-line" therapy. So many are depending on us to get the doors open - I feel we are letting them down. I know God has gotten us to this point and I have faith it is going to work out - perhaps even larger than my own expectations...but right now it is a hard pill to swallow...because so many are waiting, so many are desperate to find services for their children...

There is so much stacked against these families - medicaid restricting the number of visits per day - the most expensive therapy, they'll pay full amount, any others only half...making families split up the days of therapy - more trips, more effort and hassle on their part...it gets depressing...must remember the good times and the good that we have done...the minacles listed here help me remember how we KNOW that God is at the helm. And I wish we had posted everytime we experienced a minacle during this process...trying to remember now...to uplift me during these times...
