New Beginnings

After lots of research, sleepless nights, conferences, visits to neuropsychologists, and talks with Brian and Tony, we feel we have found the perfect option for schooling for them. I know a lot of people will question our decision, but we know our boys best and are just plain worn out from fighting with the Lakeville schools. I wish the schools would have been honest with us years ago and told us they really did not have an appropriate program for either Brian or Tony, but to do that would have meant losing tax dollars. We have given the schools ample time to respond, but with budget cutbacks we just can't afford to sit back and wait to see what happens. We were honestly blown away by our meeting with the new school today and the understanding/caring attitude we received. We ended the school year feeling very beaten, down and angry. While the anger is still very much there, we are moving on. We are feeling upbeat, positive, and breathing quite a bit easier now that the decision has been made. Brian and Tony, Mom and Dad love you and continue to fight for you on a daily basis. We will NEVER stop fighting for what you need and deserve. Please be patient with mom as she has to learn yet more computer skills and new programs (hey quit laughing so hard, remember I am technologically challenged!!):) Bridee Boy and Tony Boy you are THE BEST!!! Here's to a GREAT NEW BEGINNING!!!!!
