Rob,

Hi. PE is just physical eduaction. APE is what most of the kids with DS get

- that is Adaptive Physical Education. For my daughter, she gets APE with a

teacher instead of gym with the rest of her class. It is more indivalized

and in a small group. Depending on the needs of the child, the activity will

be modified. My daughter can't jump rope and that is one of the skills he

works on. Or it could be balance, hopping, skipping, catch, baseball, volley

ball, etc.

PT is Physical Therapy. That is usually one on one with a therapist to

strengthen the gross motor muscles. Again it is individualized to the child.

They also work on balance and basic muscle strengtening.

OT is Occupational Therapy. One on one with a therapist to strengten fine

moror skills. It could be writing, zipping, buttoning, where ever the child

is weakest. I hope this helps.

PE means Physical Education. Here in Virginia Beach, all students must

participate in a PE class every day. They do group sports ( like soccer,

baseball, volleyball, basketball etc) they work on physical fitness skills

and have competitions where kids who perform so many of the skills receive

awards, they work on developing skills with drills and such.

My daughter with DS has always participated in the regular PE class ... and

while she is not one of the star athletes she has managed to keep up and

loves to participate. Some children with special education needs participate

in adapted PE classes ... APE. Here those are not too great, they only have

one teacher that travels to the schools where they have classes .. so you can

see that the quality or time is present for those kids. Many times the sped

teacher takes the APE kids outside and lets them run around, throw balls

against the side of the school building or do whatever.

Hi ,

why doesn't she get both? gets APE to learn the skills to play and reg

PE, the reg PE does have some adaptations for her to participate. Like one

year during kick ball since the object for her was to run as long as she was

running the bases they couldn't get her out. they had to wait til she

stopped. lol I know in the lower grades she did reg PE about half the time.

Joy....who'd kinda curious about why some don't do both. :-)

Aha, that explains it a bit.

Thats different with here.

Here this PE is given in school, usually by the class teacher. The kids play

all kinds of sports and gymnastics. After school, in there free time, there

are a lot of clubs and almost every kid plays a sport in those clubs. In the

Netherlands is soccer the most popular sport. But in every sport there are

clubs. From martial arts to gymnastics. The clubs usually compete against

eachother.

Joy,

The APE teacher takes her out during PE. It's much better for her that way.

She really doesnt keep up and at least in APE she has a better sense of

achievement. In the school where I work, if the kid gets APE, they are not

allowed to play in reg gym. I have been teaching gym to my class this year

and I'm not the gym teacher and if anything happens to a spec needs kid

during gym when they are supposed to get APE, I could be liable. That's how

it is here in the big apple!

Thanks ,

Don't mean to be personal but where the hell are you? In the motel 6 ? Or NYC

equivilant of the same.? Hell if I was that sick I think I would go stay at

the plaza and charge up a big bill to leave for posterior....prosperity..?

Prosterity....... Where is my mind when I need it? Oh well, Hope your going

to have some nice dinner and catch a good show. No need to waste a good trip to

NYC just to see the doc !

Were all with you buddy, Happy landings, Kurt

Explanation

Hi Kurt and all - this has been an anxious weekend, so forgive my muddled

e-mail. I'm back in NYC, ready to fight my way in to see Dr. tomorrow.

Back to my first e-mail.

" Crit 30 " is hematocrit, a measure used to check on the red count in your

blood. Generally about three times the hemoglobin.

LDH is a component of a cell, a protein, which indicates levels of cell

murder. It is used as an early prognostic indicator with TX naive patients, to

help

determine their prognosis. The normal range is no more than 200. Higher

numbers indicate something is happening. Mine was 352.

Reticulocytes are not quite mature red cells. My count was too high,

indicating that the body is trying to over produce red cells, given the

anemia, and

that something is happening to the mature red cells. Sort of an internal

battle.

Something is killing the red cells, hence anemia, hence over production of

reticulocytes.

AIHA is " autoimmune hemolytic anemia " . I understand that about 15-20% of us

get it.

By " morphing " I meant the CLL changing into a nastier kind of leukemia, a

metamorphosis. To determine this a pathologist is going to have to look at new

slides, and determine whether I still have CLL or something different.

I think that is all.

Thanks again.

Hi Everyone, After reading chaya' s email yesterday about the Medicare

shortchanges and Rituxan info I wonder if we couldn't have more than one person

to

work on this? One person to laison with the Medicare committee and maybe one

or two others to do back up, details and reading? what do you all think?

arlene

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I think Arlene's suggestion is very good, sharing and dividing the task

makes life easy and more efficient.

I am back home from my very hectic 10 days London here and there. I will

catch up before the week ends.

My husband left in 2002.He asked for divorce a year later.(didn't know that

would happen or I probably would not have given him my car to leave me with ) oh

well. We had issues like most do,But I think I'll always love him.

Pride can be a crappy thing....I filed for the divorce I didn't want.

I was easy prey for the most evil,controlling,abusive,hatful domineering,man I

have ever met.

He happened to be an Elder in his church,and a grade 6 teacher,who took his time

obviously.

One night,about 1am,after my self esteem was pretty much shot to hell,I couldn't

sleep, so I got on the computer.(MY computer in my house)

He went nuts.said he CAUGHT me on the computer.(will always regret NOT kickin

his ass out the door on the spot.)

Few more years of hell before I did.

Unfortunately, not before losing my dignity,self worth, and sobriety.

(I'm a recovering alcoholic and will soon have 4 years sobrierty again)

It has taken that long to regain all I lost,but something unexpected came along

the way.

More strength,more faith,more gratitude,and confidence that the God of my

understanding,saved me,even though I didn't ask.

Barb??? This is your group.
