Well Since the passing of my baby brother, I had decided we were needed back home. IT has been a real eye opener being back. I was quickly reminded how different it is being back here in a small town. No resources and now I am having to start over from step one for all of the oldest's care. I did mail in all of her paperwork to start the DD waiver here. It is for those the state declares as disabled. It is a program that will help with respite care and in the future, help her get training and lessons to be able to function. Yes there is a chance she will end up in a residential home long term, but if its what she needs, then it will be there. I do hope with all the paperwork they will see the urgency
of the matter. Its a program that is based off need and state funding. But I have came to the conclusion, this is a must and not a want. Do I want the extra help? Yes, but I have learned that this will not just go away and she wont get better without the extra help. Being also a single parent, this will come in handy as well.
Life back in NM has been interesting so far. Both girls are in school... the oldest was moved to Animas. That school is amazing!! A fresh start for her in a new place where a lot of people do not know her. The other is in Apache and ran into old friends of her's there.
As for me? I am going back to school this next year and decided its time to finish the Paramedic program like I have been wanting to. I know there will be a lot of extra classes I will need to take and will need to improve in Math. But it is my goal.
