Bill's boss at his internship has asked him to go to the Annual Disability Rights/Independent Living Conference. She wants him to specifically go to the legislative workshops. I will be going to assist him with the daily living issues. He is so excited.
A co-worker also talked to him about a part time position that might open up. The co-worker said Bill is more than capable for the position. He is wanting to get excited about that too, but not too much. He doesn't want to be disappointed. He was so sweet and asked me if I would be disappointed about not going to Disney if he got a permanent job there.
I told him his dreams of someone seeing how intelligent he is and using his skills to make his life fulfilling is way more important than the Disney trip. We would find a way to go at another time. Right now we are going forward with everything as planned, we can always cancel the trip if he gets the job.
I pray everyday that happens. He is so much more happy since he feels he is doing something with his life. So that is the latest from us.
Thanks again for being so wonderful and reading our TR.
I posted this the other day and wanted to give everyone an update. Bill's internship is up mid-May. His boss talked to him the day after I posted the above and stated she wanted him to stay at least until June 30th. He works for a state funded government agency. She said they will see from there what happens with the their budget. This has had Bill smiling from ear to ear ever since he heard the news, he says at least they see his potential

The ankle surgery will be put off until at least July 1st. We will still go to Disney in November, but not for 13 days if the job continues. I just had to tell someone, I am so proud of him.
