We got back from our short trip, and got back to work.
We were made aware of a situation where once again people with
complex equipment, such as Quinn's wheelchair or shower chairs and things like that,
the funds were going to be cut.
So we educated ourselves and talked to a few people who understood the situation,
and Quinn and Isaiah decided they wanted to stand up for these people with disabilities and help educate our senators. I did not talk at all.
A few wonderful therapists talked, a few parents talked, a few other folks who care talked.
Then my kids talked. Quinn used her Tobii computer to talk, and she did great, in fact she had a couple folks in the audience crying and got a big shout out from the audience when she was done. Then Isaiah talked, and the senator told him, he was a hero.
Well done Isaiah and Quinn. Well done.
Denali wanted to tape herself, and share it with the senators, but she was away at camp, and loved it.
We just picked up Quinn from camp, and I am figuring out my words, as it was again an amazing experience. So I will be back on here soon.
