Almost Christmas and Jodi and Robert are looking to take little Ana Jain home for good. Everyone is a little leery about it but it has to happen sometime. Robert is going to be off work for the next two weeks beginning this weekend. It is a perfect time to take her home and get her used to being with him and Jodi as well as spending a little time with Roberts's parents. We are all praying that the transition will not be difficult for her. If she shows signs of separation anxiety, she can always go back to Jodi's sister Wendy's home for a few days here and there until she transitions a little better. She already has a good relationship with Robert and Jodi and her brothers but she does not know Roberts parents very well and they will be tending her after Robert goes back to work. Please pray for her during this critical time.
Jodi will be going home during the next two weeks as well. I will continue to take her to her therapies because it will be impossible for Robert to take her with all the kids. She is very much looking forward to going home but a little nervous as well as this is the first time that the whole family will be reunited for any length of time. Roberts's parents will be in Provo for most of the two weeks, leaving Robert totally in charge of his little family. Quite an undertaking but we are here to help if he calls for us. He is determined to try it alone and wants to experiment with their lives being back to a little bit of normal even if it is for only a couple of weeks.
Jodi continues to be involved with therapy and she is making good progress. She is only scheduled for two more appointments at the U of U and she is not looking forward to changing therapists. She is so attached to the ones that work with her. She will be going to the Stewart Rehab in Ogden beginning in January. As far as not having to travel so far, that will be great. We are hoping that she can continue to get the same type and degree of therapy when she makes the move. Her swallow continues to improve every week. She works at it each day all day long. Her emotional outlook continues to be so good and optimistic that she wows all those who work with her. She is a great inspiration to so many. Connie
