Today I woke up, with a spring in my step. I realized something as I left on the trek to get David.  I am at peace. I felt an incredible sense of peace when I realized that.  It was inspiring.  As I felt this, I was crossing the dam near our home.  Headed south west into Montana. I don’t know how to put it into words.  But it was like all of a sudden, the troubles of the past week were lifted from my shoulders.

Monday, when I pick up my son, magic will happen.  He will see that I love him unconditionally. He will see that I am accepting of him. He will see that we are embracing his return to the family.

Short term he will be homebound working on school materials supplied by the district. Long term we are applying to a day program for him. During the IEP meeting we got a look into the life of David. Minimum five hours a week of intensive group therapy. Weekly individual therapy. Weekly family therapy. He is in a self-contained classroom for all but two classes. Those two classes are Art and Physical Education. His therapist makes regularly daily contact throughout each day to ensure that David knows she is checking on how he is doing. He has 24×7 staff support of some
