Carousel Ranch







Bradley has been riding for 3 years now at Carousel Ranch. It's the one therapy that he actually love's.

Thankful...


It has been a rough few month's over here at the Hopkins home. Bradley has had some pretty severe behaviors such as the head banging, biting his left arm so much that it's always black and blue, and banging his legs so hard leaving them bruised as well. It just breaks my heart daily to see him do this to himself. But as of Sunday evening, we started Bradley on a medication that hopefully will improve his behaviors and also help him to sleep at night. Bradley's first couple of day's on the meds has been quite different. The first day he was to calm and lethargic so I have been adjusting his medicine to find the perfect balance for him. The good news is that he hasn't been doing the self injurious behaviors to himself. Life is already starting to get better for Bradley and I promised him I will do everything I can to help him.

I really am thankful for all my blessings. I have a hard working husband who love's and provides for his family. My daughter Britney who is the joy of my life and a wonderful sister to her brother Bradley. And then their is my sweet Bradley, he is my reason to live and the glue that holds my family together.
He is my Son Shine...
