Very quick update and I will explain more later

 I'm going to share a few basic things we are dealing with right now more as a reminder to myself so that I can come back later and expand on them.

I mentioned in my last blog that the woman who was our main contact at the residential center was suddenly no longer working there.  We were just getting to know the woman who took her place and I just found out today that she quit.  UGH! 

On Wednesday our Crider and Regional center caseworkers had a meeting with the supervisors at the residential center to get some things clarified and express concern about the lack of communication and lack of consistency in care.  The supervisors were awesome.  They stepped right up and created a fantastic action plan.  If they really follow through I think we are on a good track to be making progress.

In that meeting we learned that someone (I don't feel comfortable saying who yet because this is public but I will as soon as it is resolved) who is involved in Oksana's care did some things that could be considered abuse.  I will explain more about what she did as well later.  After discussing it with Crider and Regional it was decided that we would contact her supervisor and give her a chance to deal appropriately with it or we would hotline her.  I talked to the supervisor tonight and she was extremely concerned and is already moving up the chain of command to deal with this.  This person will not be part of Oksana's team anymore soon and if I get my way she will be fired because I don't believe she should be doing  this job.

This is my reminder to myself to tell you more about Anya's behaviors and what we are learning.  She is doing awesome but we have learned some triggers that haven't been a problem in the past.  I'm sure they are appearing now because of all of the stress with Oksana and then her sudden disappearance.  It's nothing we can't deal with, just a bummer that we even have to.

Evan got braces today!  He's feeling the pain but overall said that they whole experience hasn't been as bad as he thought it would be.  Today Evan was also diagnosed with anxiety.  I will share more about that soon too.

Clayton has been a part of the technical theater team, building sets, etc and this weekend is the big show.  I can't wait to see it.  It is the ballet Giselle.  He recently expressed interest in getting involved in musical theater.  I'm shocked.  Absolutely shocked.  I'm also thrilled that he is stepping out of his box and whether he enjoys it or not I think it will be an awesome experience.

Sorry for all of the vague descriptions but it is late and I have to get up early!  I'll be back soon!
