First Full Day of Therapy

We began therapy today after assessing yesterday.  Each student got in four and a half hours of therapy with most special needs at The Haven covered.  It was an amazing experience but it was exhausting.  Ba Leonard was ill yesterday but is back today.  His son Herold also does a great job cooking, but we are always happy to have Ba Leonard around.

Ian and David headed out to cut the grass around the cemetery at The Haven.  Andrew's grave will be marked in the near future.  Of course, there are no power tools here so they use blades.  I'm sure there are frequently injuries.

I also spent some time with Hamilton today.  Those of you who have followed this through the past two trips rejoiced when he began to eat in 2010 and worried about his cataracts last summer.  Here is a photo of him as a two year old.  Can you believe it?  This makes it all worthwhile.

We're still dealing with power outages.  This afternoon, Ba Leonard said "It's Tuesday, be sure and carry your torches (flashlights)."  Sure enough, the power went out around supper time and came back on around 8:30.  You can see from this photo that no one got bored.  As a matter of fact, I've noticed they interact better when the power is off.  I need to check on the research available on the Internet's impact on social behavior.  Things are going well!'
