From our hearts to yours.

Yesterday, a friend of ours woke up thinking he had a touch of food poisoning or a stomach bug.

Several hours later he wound up in the ER diagnosed with a major heart attack, lucky to be alive so said the doctor.

Now, they are scrambling to provide coverage for his special needs adult daughter as he is her sole caretaker and provider.

It will be a long recovery for him.

One small detail for Nolan’s Ranch is to have extra bed space available for just such emergencies. The emotional and financial tolls are far reduced when space is available and qualified staff is prepared to help during a family medical crisis.

He’s making his list and checking it twice...

It’s so hard to know when to let go.
Even harder when you can’t find the right forever fit for your special needs loved one.

25 years ago Nolan entered this world.

He was an absolutely adorable newborn. A fighter.

The attending pediatrician suggested that he be placed somewhere and forgotten as he would never do anything; never walk (he runs), never talk (he communicates quite well).

In private the head PICU nurse said don’t listen to the doctor.

Nolan’s story is not unique.

Over the past 25 years there have been a handful of decent, caring doctors, nurses, therapists, school personnel but the bad far outweigh the good and reading the headlines it seems not much has changed.

Universities and colleges must add attention to interactions with this population with all related degree plans. It’s simply not enough to have the book smarts….

We have a plan to enhance the fields of study in related degrees. It requires cooperation with Texas Universities and Colleges. I hope they see the opportunity for improvement.
