instruction in the home

[Guest guest]

Hey gang,

I'm sad. After several years of sending Caitlyn to

preschool only to have her suffer illness after

another of pneumonia, croup, H flu, strep, dozens and

dozens of temps well over 104, and zillions of colds

which should have been minor but knocked my daughter

down for the count for 2 weeks, the drs are finally

recommending that she stay home from school a year.

Just in time for Kdg. They are going to write for

instruction in the home and therapies in the home.

I feel saddened that my daughter is going to have such

a far stretch from a " normal " life and is going to

become more clingy and dependent and less social than

she already seriously is. Our goals will become

unreachable now. However, I know that sending her to

Kdg won't help because she'll only continue to be

ravaged by serious illnesses that will result in most

of her days being absent and then we have the problem

of her not being able to adjust and of all the lessons

she'll miss.

She's on the gammaglobulin treatments for the next 5

months and the hopes are a month off and she'll be

stronger and ready to start school maybe next year.

Let's hope Mom survives.

Jeanne
