Dr Hive…possible neuro issues?
cintinative replied to Mrs Tiggywinkle Again's topic in The Chat Board
I'm so grateful there was no mass identified. I certainly hope it is not MS. Did they do the brain MRI with contrast? Were there any lesions? -
The Class of 2024 College Application Thread
cintinative replied to JennyD's topic in The College Board
There is one school that sends us emails two or more times per week. We tried to find how to decline enrollment and we cannot find it anywhere. We seriously spent 10 minutes at least. Are we supposed to just send an email? ETA: Maybe you are just supposed to do nothing? -
would love an update when you are able. Praying he continues to recover.

Two friends of mine with daughters recently went through this (within the past two months). They are about nine years old. It is outpatient. After the surgery, they need meds every three hours (rotating Tylenol and Ibuprofen) and at about day 12 it starts to really turn and be much better. During those 12 days they needed to avoid dairy because that apparently interferes with healing. Needless to say, my friends were exhausted from getting up every three hours. They both had it done for the reason you describe--frequent strep. I had mine out at age five but I was inpatient and I don't remember much at all. Apparently the older you are when you have it done, the worse and longer the recovery is.

2024-2025 12th grade planning thread
cintinative replied to cintinative's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
@silver for lit really just reading books and discussing them. I use guides when I can find them to help with questions but there will be no output. I usually have some notes on hand from the discussions just in case, but not always. For some of the books we will listen to the literary life podcast episodes about the books. -

@gstharr I am not sure why you posted that in this thread? -
I didn't see one, so either I missed it (please advise!) or all of us have been too busy or too unsure to post anything. 😃 This is my youngest and I am holding this schedule loosely. I am not sure if he will go to a four year school or a two year school. At the moment he wants to study graphic design. Lit: lit at home (light credit) Comp: Comp I at the community college Math: Precalculus at home (another light credit, followed by College Algebra CLEP). We really need to be done with math. Science: we're done--he has four credits with labs so no science planned Government (fall): home based government hopefully with CLEP at the end. Economics (spring): possibly Thinkwell or we can use the Glencoe book I used for my oldest if we don't want to do CLEP Electives: Design Principles and Design Foundations (fall) at the community college; spring schedule is largely TBD. I want to see how he handles two studios plus a comp class first. We may end up dropping a class if the workload is too much. He works about 30 hours a week so no extracurriculars. Actually I hope I can get him to reduce his hours.

@Kassia thank you for contacting her. I have been meaning to post here to ask if anyone had heard anything. I have been praying regularly for her.

@kokotg for my boys "good" is often high praise. LOL. -
The Class of 2024 College Application Thread
cintinative replied to JennyD's topic in The College Board
It was just super generic and boring and long (lots of words). There are only so many ways you can say I think I would like to be in honors. -
The Class of 2024 College Application Thread
cintinative replied to JennyD's topic in The College Board
We're still waiting to hear on honors scholarships from one college. His friend just heard yesterday. So today I asked if he had seen anything yet, and he (sarcastically) joked that the process was being held up by them passing around his essay and talking about how good it is. 🤣🤣(If you saw the essay prompt, you would understand just how much sarcasm was in this comment. This essay prompt was the worst.) How is everyone else doing?? -
wow, how horribly scary!! Praying! Please update us when you are able.

how to go about selling my chemistry supplies (not chemicals)?
cintinative replied to cintinative's topic in The Chat Board
There is one, but it is VERY poorly attended. I think my best bet is going to be the local homeschool forum and/or facebook in hopes that a co-op needs supplies. I feel like most people don't do the level of chemistry we did at home anymore.
