Dr. appt....
Today we had an appointment with the Psychologist. Faith is doing well except for the bad headaches the last couple of weeks. I will take these over meltdowns any day. The cool thing is the doctor was able to walk over the our psychiatrist's office and get a recommendation to lower her medication to see if it is the cause of the headaches. This use to be a month long process for us. The school district is in the process of developing a plan for Faith's return to school. Our goal is no matter what she will start the new school year in August. I am still a believer that the dog we get this summer will help with the severe anxiety so that we can get to the root cause of a lot of this behavior. Faith is really wanting to go to school and she misses her friends so much. But she is working hard at home to insure she is keeping up with her classmates. Renae really could use a break. I do not think she would make another year of homeschooling. It is touch with a child who has a disability. Our entire family is just plain worn out. I am sure this is something that happens with other families with similar situations, but it is hard. I am just so grateful to see some improvements and small gains on a weekly basis. The clock is ticking down on fundraising so I am about to have to get really busy with this fundraising. Just one more thing, and a very important one, to add to my list of things to do at work and at home. Kris
