Well, we are finally going home to CT! On Saturday, January 13th, 2008, our son and I will make the long drive back to Connecticut after almost three and a half months of waiting and separation.
My husband and I are so excited that we can barely stand it! Our son has a scheduled interview with a group home on the 15th, and as soon as the new rooms have been completed, then James will be able to move in to his first assisted living environment. Our son is excited too, because he can begin pulling his life together, and then we can all have a life.
I told my Manager and co-workers where I work, and they are all excited too. I have been knitting and crocheting furiously to keep my mind occupied, and to finish up some projects for family members.
Once we got the Social Security Disability and Title 19 in place, then all we had to do was find the appropriate facility, and luckily, there was one that is right for our son. And it is nearby, and the people seem to be very nice and easy to talk to.
I have been trying to rest since all this happened, because I got pretty sick over the holidays, so I am very worn out. I keep waking up in the middle of the night, because my mind is running wild with ging home to be with my husband and dogs again! I have missed them tremendously, and I can only hope I can make up the time we have all lost.
