Hi Colleen,
I was wondering how Aidan is doing. I think about him often and keep him in my prayers. Maureen told me that she saw ya'll at the store and that he had grown much taller. I would love to see him again. Hope all is well...

Hello,

we are parents to Gabriela (4yo) and have been to see Ian Hunter. We live in Darwin, Australia and were "desperate" for a program to do at home to further help gabby to recuperate from a severe brain injury in Dec 2009 aged 3.5 yo. We have just been to see a Melbourne based therapist offering this type of treatment. I read the book and knew that any kind of therapy for gabby would be intense. However, the reality of it all is starting to sink in. we have the endeavor to organise a session of 11 things to do which take 1/2 an hour six times a day and 2 of those require up to 5 people. Mnnnn

But living in Darwin for us means that services a limited and almost non existent. Gabby has been getting a therapist for 2 hrs a week lst term 8 sessions. this term she can only get 4 sessions. Nowhere near enough or consistent. And if not this what else is there available for children like her?

Is she destined to just sit there ans stare into space? it is all very confronting and as a parent i feel that i owe her to at least try and if i fall start again. Something is better than nothing. it's got to be.

throughout it all i have seen the glory of God working in my daughter, and she will receive the therapy that God thinks is best for her and for me.

Colleen,
I was wondering how Aidan has made out with his therapy. I hope it has given you the results that you were hoping for. I think of Aidan often and will miss him this school year.

I am glad you all made it ok. I am sure the trip was long. I have thought of you all often. Have a good rest of the trip. GiveAidan a hug from all his teachers.

You will have to tell the boys you were in London. Their uncle is from London, Canada. Hope the weather is cooler.

A great big Thank you for creating this site. Your honest information about your experience with therapies is a helpful service to all parents and children. As you know, I've tried many things too, which other parents have had success, but then I do not get so much results :(.

We parents need honest input and to remember that if a therapy does not work for someone, it is not our fault and it does no mean the therapy is not good (obviously it helped some or it would not be around), and when it does not, we have even a bigger disappointment. I know my hopes have gotten so high, and then dashed.
Keep up the great work
Janet
