Never thought I would say....

I sure hope we don't make too much money.
Yep, that's right.  I am praying and hoping to not be overqualified for SSI for Connor.
We got the call today from the U.S Government.  Connor has qualified for SSI services (thank goodness).  Now we have to go to the SS office and turn in 7.5 months worth of pay stubs.  I was told we would receive a letter after that letting us now either what Connor's income would be or if we were rejected due to income.  I cant believe a child who is declared disabled by the government has to depend on weather or not his parents make too little or too much money.
The money will go to good use if our income is accepted.  Connor will be able to continue with his current speech therapist even after he starts school next March.  With out the extra income, we will lose Diane due to the fact that the state will no longer be paying it and we cant afford $130 an hour.
I am a bit relieved to know that he does qualify.   It makes me feel more confident that he will get all he needs when he starts school.
I have never in my life worried so much over one person before.  Oh, motherhood!
