Congratulations! I just finished ET level 1 at SEU. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

The biggest con of all. ðŸ˜

Although I left Tampa, Florida before my kids got to school age, I can give you pros and cons about living there but not about homeschooling: Pros: no snow to shovel, orange blossoms, citrus fruit and strawberries, Florida Gator games, manatees, beaches, Disney Florida resident discounts, no state income tax, Publix grocery stores, no food tax on groceries, everyone will come visit you because they can go to Disney (which can also be a con), canoeing down rivers with alligators in it (just don't bother them or get too close), natural springs swimming holes (lots all around central Florida - the coldest and clearest water you will ever swim in.) Cons: giant flying palmetto bug roaches the size of small birds that will get in your house no matter how often the exterminator comes, mosquitos, the 4 seasons (hot, hotter, hottest, and h*//, hurricanes, 3 pm thunderstorms every day during summer and Tampa area is lightening capital of the world, driving in blinding rain, increased homeowners insurance, everyone you know will come visit you for free hotel near Disney, I-4 traffic, increased risk of skin cancer, so many sink holes

Uffda.

My son was able to get secondary insurance through the state that covered all of his BMT that our primary insurance did not. The oncology clinic had a social worker that helped us set that up. I have no idea if there is something like that for adults, though. A Caring Bridge or Facebook page is one way to let others know your needs as well as update them of what is going on. Remember that lots of people want to help, so once you decide how you want to go about asking for it, don't worry about being judged. And don't forget to post the link here as I am sure people here will want to help.

So sorry to hear this. My son had AML and then a BMT. It was a long tough journey, but now he is 6 years out and tomorrow is his last visit before he is moved to maintenance clinic. He is doing great, and he even had an hour of basketball and 1.5 hours of soccer practices last night. Please PM me if you ever have any questions or need the ear of someone who has gone through it as a caregiver. God bless you, your husband, and your family.

How is her spelling? My son could read aloud to me just fine, but always struggled with spelling. Turns out he is dyslexic.

Nope. They do not care one bit if their clothes match. They also do not care about wearing clean underwear or socks each day, but that is a topic for another thread.

Cuisinare rods and the book Everything's Coming Up Fractions. I just did this as a co-op class, and it really helped my boys with fractions concepts.

We are doing 2: Rolf and the Viking Bow and Family Sabbatical by Carol Rykiel Brink

Could not be easier under option 3. Sign up with a group (We are with Homeward Education Association.) Then I just have to turn in 2 report cards and a curriculum list. No testing or portfolios required. The only other thing is to keep lesson plans that you never turn in to anyone. Good luck on your move!

I am reading Family Sabbatical by Brink right now. It is a sweet, light hearted story with many funny moments. My 4th and 5th grade boys are liking it a lot.

My 4th & 5th grade boys tolerate Progressive Composition fairly well. They hate writing, too. I also started on Outlining by Mary Mueller with my 5th grader. It is challenging thus far, but not writing intensive. He also writes 2 1/2 page narrations each week though. I plan to start WWE next year. The 4th grader is another story entirely. He drags his feet on everything that is not fun so he is still on WWE 3. I really like the typing idea. That will be done on the computer. Computers are fun therefore typing will be fun and get done...I hope.

Praying that you will soon be celebrating lower bilirubin levels, higher ANC levels, and a return to the regular transplant unit and out of ICU. Numbers 6:24-26
