We are still continuing speech therapy at UT until the end of the year, and will also work with her at home as long as we see improvement. The implant really did change her life. She is much happier and although her autism limits interaction to a certain extent, she is more sociable than she has ever been.
I will only update this blog yearly henceforth unless something major happens. Until then, thank you for sharing our journey.......
In reflection........I posted 52 blogs this past year. It is encouraging to me to read about our journey. God is Faithful and we are so Blessed!!
You may not know what God has planned for your life at this moment (would we have knowingly chosen to adopt an autistic daughter--probably not), but as it says in Jeremiah:
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
And that is what we try to do..understand that God knows what is best for us and seek him in all our decisions. What he has planned for us is better than we could plan ourselves.....
