New days ahead

As I stated in the intro, DW is severely emotionally disabled - to the point of hospitalization twice... and now we are on the cusp of hospitalization again, only this time it's "long-term". Daniel will be placed in PRTF - Permanent Residential Treatment Facility sometime after the 9th of January.
During the time that we've been getting him set up for the PRTF, DW has been unable to attend school regularly because it's just too much of an emotional upset for him. So... on Thursday he starts "homebound" school, where he will go and spend 1-3 hours with a teacher one-on-one at his regular school. This will be wonderful for him as he loves to get out of the house!
On the 11th, we have an evaluation appointment with Dr. M so that he can be approved for the PRTF. Once he's done with that, then we'll start looking at facilities that have space and make a decision on where he'll be.
What a start to the new year...
In other news, SG met up with a friend from school and went to church today with her and some friends, then off to her house to hang out and stuff... he won't be home till around 8 - I hope that he takes this opportunity to branch out and make some new friends, away from his brother and sister! What a day this has been for him I'm sure!
PJ left early today with A. (her boyfriend of nearly a year) to go up to Little River and see the ice. A wanted to take pictures and should be sharing them with me later today... PJ was a little irritated that their day was interrupted because A's friend wanted to take him out for dinner in celebration of his new job. PJ isn't allowed out past 9 on a school night and tonight is technically a school night, so she's a little mad that A might not be able to come back... however, A has to be home BEFORE 9 tonight in preparation for the new job... so - not much of a chance he'll be back.

As day's go it's been good for DW and SG, but from the sounds of "Your about to get grounded" from the other room, not so good for PJ... I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles... now I've got to go make cornbread to go with my big ole pot of ham and beans! Future recipe to come! ;)
