I've been meaning to update you guys on how Morgan is doing since the new medicine change. She seems better than she was a couple of weeks ago but still not where she needs to be. She goes back to the doctor next week so I imagine we'll be adjusting the dosage a bit. Her sleeping has evened out some for the most part, she's not staying up all night anymore, at least in the past week. Her mood has evened out a good bit. So all in all, things seem to bet getting better a little at a time. Alex is doing good (knock on wood). School starts in a couple of weeks and there is usually a hard adjustment period for both of them. I imagine it will be worse for Morgan this year since it's her first year in middle school. I'll meet with the teachers the first week of school to go over both of their IEP's (individualized education plan, used for children receiving special education services). I always give the teachers a folder with articles about their specific disabilities and a letter explaining how it effects them specifically, as well as telling them about what the kids are like, what they enjoy, strengths, etc. This personalizes them more to the teachers so that they aren't just a piece of paper with issues they have to deal with. I have videos for each of the kids that I show to the teachers then too that explains their "story". Over the many years I've dealt with the school system, this has proven to be the best method to allay the teachers concerns and answer their questions since they don't often have children with these types of issues.
Anyway, thank you all for the prayers you've sent our way! It's helped me in the past few weeks to have this place to just be able to come and chat. Thank you for that!!
Talk to ya'll later today.
