Graduation and Birthday

Today is Joey's last day of therapy at the clinic. We have been going to the clinic since the accident. It is a bittersweet moment. I am glad that we don't have to drive to North Hollywood (20 minutes) Monday thru Friday anymore and then to Santa Monica (30 minutes further). I have put a million miles on my car this last year and a half. I only got my Expedition right before Joeys accident and have 40k miles on it. On the other side, it is sad because that has been our life for a year and a half. We have meet great people. Joey has accomplished a lot. Also, because he is three, his therapy is no longer paid for. The school district takes over and he only gets 1 hr each of PT and OT a week compared to the 7 hrs the state pays for. So now I get to fight with the insurance company to see how much therapy I can get from them. It is always hard to switch from one therapist to another. The new therapist and Joey have to take time to get to know each other and this is very frustrating to me. I feel that I have to teach the therapists what to do with Joey.

Joey's B-day is tomorrow. Unfortunately , I won't be around to celebrate. I have to finish up my fitness certification this weekend. However, on July 5th we are having his b-day party. So I have been planning this HUGE party and am almost done. I have also been training a lot to get certain certifications for our Krav studio. One which is to teach children. So on top of everything I am doing with Joey, I am also putting a childrens program together at our studio. 

Jessica and Jack are out of school for the summer. That is nice. They have been swimming a lot and have had friends over playing. We have a few camping trips planned and the older kids go to sleepaway camp in August.

It never stops amazing me how life changes so quickly and how at one moment life is calm and the next second it is chaotic.
