"Cindy, I remember you and I remember your son Brian... And I remember working with him over and over again, trying to get him in a position to get him a visit... There was no one more who wanted him to have a visit other than me... And I faught for him to have a visit, and fought for you to see himm, and as I recall, you did get a visit with him, because I advocated that he have that visit... Which I will add, was not difficult, considering that he had been there for six months and had reached the highest position of worker... More importantly, I called you back everytime you called, however, as I recall, my responses simply weren't "quick" emough or you didn't get the answers that you wanted... Furthermore, I also distinctly remember also working with Brian's father as well... So, to the other person who posted about staff not giving a shit, understand what you're talking about... I worked over 90 hours a week at Elan, held events for the students on my free time, brought in prizes and food for students to have them compete, and advocated my ass off for a lot of students that weren't doing anything... So, you can think whatever you want... "
Matt, yes,you did work to get a visit for us. It was a two day visit without an overnight.
I thank you for what you did, and as angry as a sound, I did appreicate it and we had a great time.
I do need to clarify,... I was NOT IMPAITENT,... you did not return my calls for more than 3 weeks. You even went on vaction, still without calling me back. No one else is allowed or informed enough to step in.
How would YOU have felt if you were the one waiting? It is heart wrenching! Unbearable! This was a very difficult time for us as I am well aware of your knowledge in this area.
I do understand the staff is overworked and that parents are not their top priority, but a little compassion goes a long way.
Had you only called and let me know that you hadn't forgotten about me, things could have been different.
I am sorry for the slam, my son really did like you.
I am not one to keep quiet when I need to blow off steam.
Can we put this behind us?
As for his father, he belongs in elan but I don't think his I.Q. is high enough.
Cindy
