There are groups around and inside Houston that don't care what kind of homeschooling you do and what religion (if any) you are. A few are FB based, but some are on Meetup. I'd be happy to share any ideas via PM.

My daughter was put on the waiting list for the Medicaid waiver program for medically dependent children when she was three months old. We're still waiting. She's almost 9. We're in Texas.

It's not exactly a vaccine. It's an injection of antibodies that's given once a month during flu/cold season. It's also crazy expensive. $2500 per shot (at least it was 8 years ago)

We just did this! Definitely not unhealthy for them and it was a lot of fun. The caterpillars get much bigger than the painted ladies and the chrysalides are gorgeous. If you think you can get enough leaves, I'd definitely keep it inside.

I've copied this and put it in my teacher binder. Such good advice!

Why is the surgeon recommending this surgery? My daughter has not had this procedure but it is pretty common for kids with her particular genetic condition. As far as I know, it's mainly used to fix hyper nasality. It's been helpful for the kids I know who have had it done.

my first post! I'm in Houston. Are you in any of the local homeschool FB groups? You can post an invite to those groups. It's definitely been done before.
