[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 437528, member: 1169"] Welcome! I can imagine the sheer terror of what happened. I injures myself twice trying to get to Tigger before Kanga did. Watching the violence explode around your helpless baby is very traumatic (course, my baby was 5-8 years old but developmentally only 2-3 at the time). Do you know what town you will be moving to in Colorado? The internet is a wonderful thing. I would have initial appointments set (make the appts now)with psychiatrist and therapist for difficult child and the pediatrician for all of them so that they can see the docs in the first week or so. It may be critical that you have a "local" doctor and better to have that set up than to have to scramble while in crisis. I'd also recommend getting the school records sent now and making an appointment with the school district. For the ones with IEPs, it is vital to give the schools a big heads up so that they can adjust staffing if necessary (it looks like you may have 5 on IEPs?? that could be overwhelming for a small district and the more time you give them to get ready, the better). I'd recommend each kid take their absolute favorite toys in a backpack and have 1 box in your car with their sheets, pjs, teddy bears, etc so that their first night in the new house, at least their beds will 'feel' right. If you can get a recommendation (either through husband's work or your future church), I would try and hire a couple of teenagers to help during the first week or so -- even just to play with the kids outside while you unpack dishes inside.
