Sorry it has taken me so long to update! Things have been crazy busy. What's new right?
Hope is Strawberry Shortcake this year and Meg is a unicorn with a princess on her back! Hope's school did a book parade where they all had the chance to show off their costumes. I guess Meg was a hit!
Hope had a 2 week break from school and returned to school only to catch strep throat again. Her appointment for the neurologist was while she had strep. So we have a new appointment for next month.
Hope's resource teacher for reading called me on Friday. She wanted to see how I felt about taking Hope out of resource and leave her with her class! They have been working on the same material that the class has been working on for 2 weeks now. Hope is at grade level for reading and writing! Yeah Hope!! She is only in resource for Math now. So proud of her! Even with all of the class she has missed she is staying at grade level.
Last Friday I took her out of school early to go meet with our PT at a continuing education class. They were talking about a new sensoriomotor suit that is working on kids with high tone and low tone. It's basically a specialized spandex suit that gives the child sensory feedback to help improve their balance & function. Once Hope was suited up, she walked about 50 feet, with her hands at her side and was standing while throwing a ball. They make specialized gloves as well. I put those on her and had her write. Amazing! My mom offered to fund the expensive little suit. Hopefully I will have video of her in it soon! Not sure how long it takes to receive it.
I had finals 2 weeks ago. I walked out of Kinesiology with an A and a C in Human Occupations. My grade isn't final yet in Human Occupations. I have an 83 at this point and still need to have the teacher evaluate me on attendance, classroom behavior, etc. It could hopefully pull me up to an 85 which would give me a B. Here's hoping!
Tomorrow I start fieldwork. I have an hour drive and have to be there at 6am. Plus my supervising OT works through lunch. I am going to be a very tired and hungry Beth this week. I am also stuck in geriatrics. The one place I didn't want. Oh well, it's one week. Next week I am back in the classroom and then the following week I have another fieldwork. That one is still geriatrics but at least it's only about 20 minutes away!
Oh, Hope now has reading glasses. She looks so studious!
Just a small vision issue that she could outgrow. He said it definitely isn't enough to cause the headaches. I wanted to make sure her vision was checked before we went to the neurologist.That is all I can think of for now. I have a lot to do to finish preparing for this week.
Thank you everyone for your continued support!
