This week has been so busy! Monday was Blakes first day at TLC. He did pretty good. We dropped him off at school, he went running down the hallway with his teachers, and then realized we weren't coming with him. He cried for a little while, until his teacher found a police car-then he was happy. They have an observation room, its behind a mirror-so the kids cant see us. Phil and I sat and watched for about 30 min, then decided to go. He was doing art work when I went back to observe again before I picked him up. I think he will like it once he gets to know everyone.

Tues we had Rehab Institute-he is doing really well. We are all looking forward to the botox on Monday. He loves going to Rehab Institute, and he really loves all the therapists there. He talks about going to see them a lot. I know they all enjoy him too. That makes things so easy on me. Hard drop offs are the worst! Plus going to the Rehab Institute I get a chance to talk to other mom's and dad's going through similar experiences.

Wed we went to Rehab, then that night we were invited to a Benefit Dinner/Auction for Blake in Paola, KS at the Circle C Restaurant. Man-that was such a heart warming experience. This town of people we dont know-all came together to help us out. The restaurant held a spaghetti dinner from 4-8, and the auction started at 6pm. The restaurant dontated all the money made during that time to us, along with all the money raised from the auction. It was amazing to me watching perfect strangers show up to help us. The Paola newspaper also wrote an article about Blake, it was on the front cover!! Everyone in Paola has been so generous! I am still amazed at how much support and love we continue to receive. I seriously dont know how to thank everyone enough. Thank you just doesn't seem to be a strong enough word. :) I love you all!!
