school meeting

[Guest guest]

Well, we had our meeting today with Hannah's principal & teacher (the lunkhead

gym teacher was too busy to come). It went really well, even though I (and

Mike) nearly started crying a few times (I even saw the principal well up a

couple of times). Her teacher has a son with epilepsy and completely understands

where we are coming from.

They both were incredibly supportive and asked tons of questions. The

principal gave us the referral paperwork to start. I will hopefully be able to

drop that back off at school by Friday. Once I drop it off the school district

has 60 days to get Hannah evaluated, They both feel she may qualify for OT/PT

services right at school if needed.

Her teacher loves the idea of reading the Keeping a Secret book to the class

and handing out the KGAT bracelets to the class. We are going to do that next

week Friday. That is good timing because she sees her new doctor on Thursday.

My only concern left will be the gym teacher, but I have been assured by the

principal he will not be a problem.

When we got home we had a long talk with Hannah about her needing to be honest

about her pain and not try and hide it. That will be the hardest part I think.

Thanks again for everyone's support and suggestions, I never would have been

as prepared for this meeting without all of you!!!
