Too Much?

I had wanted to keep this blog short and sweet, so interested families could see a short, concise journal of progress. My time is so limited, and I know others time is also, especially when you have a child with more needs. Unfortunately, it has evolved into something longer. I think this is because this is the first time that we have stuck with it every day for 5 months now. So naturally, I have more to report. I really think that there is more to it than just a scientific report of data. My background is science, and I'm used to 'data' as opposed to elaboration. But, children aren't a science experiment, and my daughter isn't a study. From a busy parent perspective, that is what I want to read, a short version of the facts. So maybe I didn't fulfill what I set out to do, but maybe someone will read a post or two and find something to encourage them. I feel the end is in sight, I hope my daughter is close to graduating. I need to stick this out to know I gave her the strongest foundation for other things to build upon. As she's getting older, I can see how smart she really is and how much she retains. My recent discovery of expressive language is really making sense out of so many mysteries. I hate that I am sitting in front of a computer for hours a day, reading and searching. It is the only way to find anwers and the proper help. It's like unchartered territory. Although there are so many people in my shoes, none of us have the exact scenarios. The combinations are limitless, so there is no one size fits all, not even one size fits most. We see Bette in a week!
