we ended up passing up kenleys spot at gerard. we view gerard as a "last resort" option. when kenley went on the waiting list, we didn't have the services of dr. surdy (neuro-psych in mankato) or greater minnesota (intensive family based) offered to us. with these services now on the table, we had to take these opportunities first. we feel good about our decision and plan.
the neuro-psych testing in mankato is complete. we meet on the 16th to discuss results and recommendations.
kenley will continue to receive individual therapy but home-based therapy is also going to start happening this week. kenley will be home during these two hour sessions and the therapist will be in our home to guide our interactions and help during times of need. this service will also increase as kenley spends more time at home.
as we also work towards transitioning kenley home, we have started doing some over-nights. due to appointments, last week we had her 2 nights, but it'll typically be 1 night a week. this will be so good for all of us.
we have many people/agencies involved at this point. our main goal is to make sure everyone is working together and have a comprehensive care plan in place for her.
it takes a village. and right now, we feel we have a village. we are so grateful for the love and support of so many helping our family and taking care of our girl.
