Joseph, David, and myself (Mona), had our weekly meeting today at Learning Services with Dr. Harvey Jacobs, Neuropsychologist; Shani Cohen, Case Manager; and Natalie, Behavioral Analyst.  In the meeting, we discussed the possibility of Joe leaving the Neurobehavioral Center in Creedmoor to go to a transitional program in Raleigh.  The transition would take place slowly over a 2-3 week period.  This would be an exciting step forward to Joe coming home to follow his dreams.

Dr. Harvey Jacobs gave Joe some wonderful words of encouragement today.  Over the weekend, he ran into two different women who had suffered head traumas.  Each one shared with Dr. Jacobs that they had completed their doctorate program in their respective fields since their accidents.  Dr. Jacobs also stated that he has taught doctorate level courses, and told Joseph that he had read Joe’s paper that was recently written for the class he is currently taking at North Carolina State University.  He thought Joe’s work was better than some of the papers he has had turned into him in doctorate level courses!

We thank God that He has blessed Joseph, and allowed him to keep his intelligence.  What a blessed miracle!

David, Mona, & Jennifer
