Well its
been another week of busy craziness.
Makenzie
started the week off with a cold. She missed school on Monday but by Tuesday
was ready go back. I am so thankful for her strong immune system, something
that was quite weak before we did stem cell therapy. Despite being under the
weather she had a great week at school. Friday her aide was out and her teacher
was sick so we got to stay home again and cuddle all day! It was so nice to not
have anything to do but spend the day with my girl not once but twice this
week!
I went in
to the middle school at the beginning of the week to follow up on my
conversation with the psychologist and found out they had my son on the
calendar to be tested on January 10th. I was furious. They legally have 60
business days..... not just standard business days..... like 60 full days that
the school is open. So take out fall break, Christmas break, and three days for
Thanksgiving..... yeah. So doing the
math on that one they legally have until the middle of January to do any
testing and after that they have another 30 open business days to incorporate
any modifications into the classroom.
Doing more math..... that is almost the beginning of April...... school
gets out in June.
Our
conversations did not go terribly wonderful and ended with me telling the
psychologist I was disgusted with the
fact that he would consider standing on policy before helping my son after
ignoring his struggles for over a year. I also talked with the 8th grade dean which
went about the same..... until I got a call the next morning to tell me that
they would be completing the testing within the next 3 weeks. Thank You, thank
you very much.
I do not
know what they will find but any information at this point would be helpful.
After speaking with the private school a bit more this week I am not sure
it will be an option for our family.
They do not give full scholarships and coming up with $15,000 a year even after
the largest scholarship they offer is not very realistic for me at this point.
With that said I will gear up to battle with the school and continue to search
for other options as well.
I am one
edit away from finishing my first research paper in 15 years. This is where I
out myself as a nerd because I have to admit I had a ton of fun writing it. I am
also getting ready to start the biggest paper in my English class and at this
point my fears about whether or not I could be successful in going back to
school while managing the rest of my life are all but gone. The schedule for
next semester will be open for registration next week and I have decided to
take 14 credits and officially go full time.
I am
sitting here trying to think of something else to write about Makenzie since
this is technically her blog but I can't come up with anything. She is doing so
well. She loves school, she is thriving and as always happy. God is SO good!
Life is
awesome, super busy, and totally blessed!
Believe...
Prayer Works!
