She always comes in ready to have fun, and Jordison always looks forward to her visit. She has been super helpful in getting us providers that work for our family, even if that meant we had to “break up” with existing providers – which she also did for us to save me the headache. She even listens to me vent a little while she’s here – and she has found an OT for us. I know they are tough to come by, but she’s been able to get us set up with one. And she lets me steal all of her Bright Start pens. :) We love KelLeigh – and we will also need her to be able to keep Jordison on her caseload forever. :)
