I've never had my daughter tested, however I can relate to your frustration a bit. I think my daughter was nine when she learned to count through the teens. She is 10 now and is finally finishing R&S grade 2 math. In December she was still barely reading on a first grade level. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: Don't give up hope.

:001_wub: Time flies doesn't it?

On perfect days we kennel our dog before answering the door. We also kennel her when there are kids visiting (running around and being loud). I don't consider her to be an aggressive dog but she has surprised me in the past by nipping a child who was standing still/not in her space. It would only take a few seconds for her teeth to do major damage. I'm not willing to take that chance.

I don't have any experience to share. I hope everything is okay. :grouphug:

Sarah, thank you for letting me join Desmond's Caring Bridge site. It is great to read your updates and see how resilient your little guy is. Still praying here. :grouphug:

:hurray:

Wonderful news!! :grouphug:

This thread came to mind tonight as I was getting ready for bed. Hope all is well.

:) Love a good success story.

Praying for your sweet boy. :grouphug:

Matt, one starting point is to look at what his current school is using and decide which of those materials works well for him and which do not.

I'm not a beach person either. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Interesting read. Thanks. :)

:):)

I had to look up the abbreviations. Wow! Sounds like you have some pretty major struggles with you immune system. :grouphug::grouphug: I hope you can get some definite answers. Not knowing what is going on can be so frustrating.

:grouphug: It sounds like you put a lot into the co-op. I'm sorry it isn't working out for you.

Personally, I would put him down.

:)

:grouphug: Hopefully someone else will have answers for you.

After nursing four kids they aren't exactly perky anymore. :tongue_smilie: BTW, you all are giving me much needed chuckles this morning.

I have a LARGE bottom and no books. I shop for bras in the girls section because I don't even wear an A. I've always joked that if I moved just half of my bottom to my top I would have severe back problems. Lol! So far my girls are a wee bit better off.

Too funny! I shared with my 16yo.

This happened to us too. My poor girl (13/14? at the time) was completely stunned. It was a good thing I was with her. When I was growing up my mom was a nurse for a county health department so I was not surprised and had to step in and make sure the nurse practitioner toned it down a bit. This past fall I had to take in another daughter and she cried when I told her we HAD to go. I opted for a female pediatrician and it was a much better experience. The ped was so gentle with her because she could see how scared dd was.
