I am scared to believe that I have heard these words. Hobbes has say three words since last night!!! :shock: He said HI, bye, and bad. I am amazed! I feel like there is some wonderful hope that I will hear my boy speak after all. He said Bye when I came home from work when I said Hi to him. When I laughed and hugged him and said Hi Hobbes, he repeated the HI! Just now Zoee was turning off the Tv on him(her new find thing, the off button :lol: ) He shake his finger at her and say, I am pretty sure a word that sounded like BAD! :D I am doing a happy dance with tears!

I guess someone is watching out for us and has decided that today I needed a ray of hope and send it down to me! :D Of course he only said them once but it is a good start! :D


Shannon

yes you did! that is awesome! Just goes to be true.

God gives you what you need when you need it. That means good things too!

It was so what I needed right now. I feel like God is listening to me and he is hearing my crys for an little peice of hope that Hobbes will speak to us one day! I like to think that my mom is watching and is whispering into Hobbes'ear to give him that support as well! Sorry I had a silly moment! :oops: :)


Shannon

Wow, Shannon! That's so awesome! The little things mean so much more when you have a special needs child. I hope that there are more new words and repeats in Hobbes' future!

Way to go Hobbes!! I hope that it only gets better from here!

Thanks Amy! :D

I was able to get hobbbes in to an austism program today with Let's get start it. He will go on August 4. So I will have to wait an dsee about the St with that. Will update you on the program in August. Yes, It is on the Calendar, Janette! :wink:


Shannon

Glad you remembered to post it on the calendar, Shannon! Did you get the right date? :wink: That's awesome that Hobbes is able to get into the autism programme so quickly! Being a polite pest does wonders when it comes to getting help for our special needs kids!

Yeah I got the right date too! :D It is the polite pest hat gets thing did. I even got the disability paper redone for him and they will be here on Monday.


Shannon

Woohoo, Shannon! It sure does pay to be a polite pest sometimes, doesn't it!!! I'm sure that disability amount will make a big difference for you! Have you also applied for ACSD (Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities) through Community and Social Services? Don't let the "severe" scare you away. It's a provincial thing, but they help to cover the "extra" expenses of having a child with special needs, things like trips to the specialists, extra laundry, learning toys, etc. Anyway, it's worth while looking into it.

Janet, Yes, I haveThey are the one who are paying for Hobbes' pull up now as well as Zoee's thichened liquids that she is on. They are also the ones who have put in for the funding for Hobbes to have a worker 1-1 with him when he is in nursery. So I am very thankful for that help. Oh they are also the ones that will give me the respite if I can just get DH to agree to it. Also just got the new paper in the mail for the taxes, even though I am not sure about them , The specialist who diagnosed Hobbes has again put speak is not applicable when He should be marked restricted but she did put on the back of paper where it says diagnose with she did put Austism Spect. Disorder. So I hope that is enough. This is the fourth time that i had to get her to fill oout these forms for me. So here is too hoping!

Shannon

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you about the income tax papers, Shannon. Why isn't dh comfortable with the respite?

how cool is that? Go Hobbes!
