Happy Wednesday,, well not happy but Wednesday

Update: So I get a call from the new BA who barely speaks english, at this point I am so frustrated that I have called my CMO worker and requested she pre-screen this person before I have them enter our home and lives because I am so cynical with the process I may not be fair. More to come,,,,

So here's the good news, my sister's blog was feature on SITS today, way to go Sistah!

For me the saga continues to get a Behavioral Assistant for Timmy. Per the course we had a phone call and emails last week with the promise of a new BA. Well on Thursday at 9 pm after another 3 weeks without a BA this new person calls me. I find out he lives over 2 hours away and once he hears where we live he is not able to work with us. So back to square 0 again! On Friday after numerous calls to the CMO they tell me they will search for another BA for us. Monday nothing, Tuesday a.m. I get an email saying the following "Although we have not been able to find a BA for you yet because we are looking for one and anticipating finding one very soon we will not authorize any additional Therapist hours" GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Well those that know me know that that email just infuriates me so I start calling and emailing. Then I get an email about an hour later stating they found a new agency and the referral has been sent, I will be getting a call in the afternoon from this new BA. So tick tock tick tock, not very patient Marcie is waiting for the call and guess what, surprise of all surprises, it doesn't come. Nothing, Nada, Nyet.

This morning I pick up the phone and call the office of the director of my local CMO, of course I can only speak with her Admin Assistant who assures me she will look into it. After 30 minutes, I get another email from the CMO, this time stating that they are sorry but the agency never got the referral but it's being resent and they have assigned a BA. So me being me writes back, well that's nice and I hope someone will make sure this person knows how to be a BA and is reviewing their credentials to make sure this one doesn't call my child a Brat and has actually worked with a child on the Autism Spectrum before. I am now at the point where I am not going to have people who don't know what they are doing come in and out of our lives and cause chaos. I have some expectations here and I am not willing to sacrifice my expectations for an hour break because guess what, the wrong person again could be the one who sends Timmy over the edge.

Well wish me luck, I will continue to make phone calls and raise havoc with these people today in between trying to make a living! Oh and by the way, I signed Timmy up for Summer Camp, I still don't have the funds for it in place but hopefully I will find a way to make it happen, not just for him but for me too!
