Guest guest Posted February 11, 2000 Report Share Posted February 11, 2000 Hi , my twins are 3 1/2, Eli (DS) and his sister Milo. I also have a 5 1/2 year old. Last school year when the twins were 2 I sent them together to a typical two's program. It was challenging because Eli wasn't walking yet, but they accommodated him with his posterior walker. It was 3 days a week. The other 2 days he went to a class at EI and had his therapies. I think he benefited just because he is a very social little boy, but I have seen more progress this year in a special ed class. If you can combine the " regular " class with therapies, an aide, etc. your child can get the best of both worlds. In our case we didn't have lots of trained support in the preschool class, just extra hands. I have to admit I felt good having him in a regular sort of class, with his sister. And he enjoyed it. The bottom line is what's going to benefit him the most, and what will be most convenient for you. That sounds harsh but if you;'re going to be a stress machine that won't benefit anyone. Don't forget to take your needs into account too!!! Hope this helps! Debbi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 Like I said and I repeat, it says EQUAL participation. I interpret that to mean, no matter how many teachers, therapists, principals, vice principals, social workers, school psychologists, dogcatchers and other various and sundry people they stack on THEIR side of the IEP, I still have EQUAL participation and that means (to me) that I am equal to all 10 or 12 of them. Perhaps OSERS should have been less vague in their regulations. I interpret EQUAL participation to mean that I am 50% of that team. The school district personnel (all 100 or so of them at the meeting) are the other 50% and that means (to me) that they can only overrule me by taking me to court.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 As a result of the story that ran in the NY Times on Fear and Poverty of Migrant Farm Workers living in the U.S., I'd like to share our experience with taking medical services to migrant camps and migrant farm workers in our area. We are a community/migrant clinic based in north San Diego County. We recently expanded our mobile clinic program from 4 hours, 3 times per week to 8 hours, 3 times per week. Our CEO, Irma Cota is a member of the California Endowment task force that addresses the issues of health care needs of migrant farmworkers; and as a community and migrant clinic, we are aware of the medical needs of migrant farm workers (diabetes medication, high blood pressure, anemia, flu, STDs, etc.), but we are often met with resistance when we approach growers, and foremen about providing medical services onsite. Although growers provide little in terms of health care to their farm workers, they do not always welcome community assistance. Another concern for us is the lack of transportation that workers face. It is often risky for them to drive to the nearest community clinic, and few growers are willing to take sick workers to health care providers unless it is a critical condition. We have 8 community clinics; all of them are located on a bus route; and 50% of our staff is bi-lingual, and bi-cultural. We are one of three community clinics in this area of the county, and yet together we are still unable to care for migrants who live within a few miles of a health center. We do not stand alone in our attempts to take medical care to migrant farm workers who need it; other community-based and faith-based organizations have seen the need and are working to improve migrant farm workers' ability to access a variety of resources and services. Yet we cannot force our way into migrant camps and farms/nurseries where these men and women work. One way, we can begin curtailing these health disparities, is to have growers, migrant farm workers and community clinics collaborate honestly, and openly. And this kind of collaboration is imperative. Tamara F.

I agree, Raf, it sounds like you have not suffered too serious damage to your liver, some damage may be reversible, and I have even heard of people with irreversible damage coming back to health. I understand that the undamaged portion of the liver can take over the function of that that may be damaged.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 This is just an update......my first 2 shots weren't too bad....the 3rd one on Thursday night kicked ass big time.....yesterday, I was so sick I thought I was dying......have been sleeping on and off day and night, up a couple of hours then back to bed.....today I'm still sick and have alot of liver pain this time.....and bone pain....so I am certainly looking for a better day ahead...... My Shelby dog seems to be doing much better.....I think Marilyn asked if this was something she would recover from.....no....she has heart disease, hypothyroidism and hip dsyplagia....kind of like her moma....LOL.....I count each day with her a blessing...... I was reading an interesting article on the internet the other night and it pretty much confirmed what I had been thinking......it talked about how chronic hepatitis c affected other body organs and how it could be a cause of the spine disintergrating or spinal degeneration......my spinal problems started when I was a young woman in 1977.....and at the time I was treated for osteoarthritis just by the symptoms presented.....that is the same time I started having other symptoms that I now recognize as the hepatitis c......now I am 54 and in a wheelchair with 3 crumbled vertabrae, spinal stenosis and permanent nerve damage....and the neurosurgeons had no idea what could have caused this......this diagnosis was made 3 years before finding the hepatitis c. Being the dreamer that I am, pushes me on and my newest dream is to go to Washington, DC next May for the hepatitis awareness march.....I would appreciate prayers from all of you concerning this....it seems an impossible mountain to climb if I look at it as a realist....LOL....dreaming has taken me on many journey's in my life and I am so grateful for the experiences.....love to all.....judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
