Challenges and Blessings, Sam Mayer

[Guest guest]

Hey Everyone, I have finally updated the blog with a medical update on Sammy and an update on some of the things he is working on with his NACD program and homeschooling. This post talks about reading, comprehension, writing, math and I hope it gives you some good ideas. It is long and contains a lot of pictures and videos so I will only post the start of it here and the rest can be seen at my blog address of www.suemayer-specialneedsmom.blogspot.com. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2011Challenges and Blessings, A Long Post To Catch Up!Tonight I am tired, I am calm, I am humbled but most of all I am blessed. In the last two weeks we have had 6 doctor's appointments, including 4 trips to Children's Hospital. Add in 8 therapy appointments, another sick child, homeschooling, a good friend of Sam's having major surgery and the day to day things that we all face, dinners, laundry, house cleaning and oh yeah...sleep...seem to be kinda neglected. I didn't have time to return calls to friends, I didn't have time to update the blog, I didn't have time to work on Sam's next fun unit study on the human body or put his books on tape, I didn't have time to read my book for book club or work on the afghan I am making for my wonderful daughter and a lot of those things are what helps me to maintain my calm and balance. I just sorta floated through these 2 weeks, trying to stay on schedule, trying to maintain some semblance of balance...but some weeks you just trudge through. What I was amazed at...was that I didn't feel out of control, I didn't feel overwhelmed...I was tired but at peace……………… Click on the blog address above or below to see the rest. Have a great weekend!!! Sue MayerMom to Sam (10) who is genuine, unique and perfectly “Sam”www.suemayer-specialneedsmom.blogspot.com
