Great thread! (And I didn't notice the H until you pointed it out.)
I do have one small "yay" to post about. Last night I told my LD H about the SSM book and he even allowed me to read him the front/back flap info on Amazon.com (in the past he most certainly would have been too tired or too busy or too "whatever" to have this read to him). Then he said he was glad I'd ordered it. Today he sent me a beautiful e-mail from work about how committed he is to doing whatever it takes to make this work for us. I'm feeling the first stirrings of - dare I say the word? Hope.
