2nd IEP meeting...

Today Renae and I met with administrators at Faith's school for the second meeting in her IEP. It was a great meeting. We went over the timelines remaining, assessments that need to be made, and how this process should continue and pan out. I left there feeling very comfortable with the staff working at the school and on our behalf. They seem to truely care about Faith and are passionate about finding what will be best for Faith and her getting an education. I think it is important to feel comfortable with those that we are working for. I also feel really good about the fact that we have met numerous people, mostly by them coming forward to us from this blog, who have been through an IEP and have offered to assist us in anything we may need through this. Just amazing. I am really grateful to have started this blog and began sharing our story. Faith is having a hard day. She just does not feel well. We noticed she has not slept well for the last two nights. It is as if there is a cycle that we cannot yet put our finger on. She felt bad enough that when we got to my mother's for our customary Tuesday night dinner, Faith decided she wanted to wait in the vehicle. That is so not like her. It came as a surprise to us, so we had no other option but to go inside and eat real quick and go back home. And as usual, no matter how she feels, the caring and compassionate side of her insisted that no one wait in the vehicle with her so that her Nana would not get her feelings hurt. Abbi ended up staying at Nana's for an hour or so and Nana just brought her home. Kris
