In fact it was about John...I have so been there! In fact it was about John's age....or just a little older, I had to pull Ethan out of therapy all together, for my own sanity....he had plateaued and was miserable and I couldn't take a moment more of him being tortured. Then I fought for the next 3 years for alternative therapies, just so he could return to a POSITIVE therapy experience. He just had his fifth Hippo Therapy session on Monday.....and he was on the horse BY HIM SELF!!!! For two times around the arena he was able to sit up, and this was HUGE, something we never dreamed he would ever be able to do. AND he LOVES therapy and is finally getting something out of it.<br /><br />People with typical families (children) do not even comprehend what strain having a special needs child puts on a relationship....it either makes you stronger, or tears you apart and the more common is the latter! I count my blessings everyday that I have been one of the lucky few who's relationship has survived having a severely disabled child.brightfamfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11396337132427819126noreply@blogger.com
