We have been extremely blessed to have gotten a loaner Dynavox for Jewel to use until further notice. I am just in awe that we have had such a thing loaned to us. There are such good people in this world and stuff like this restores my faith in people. So today when Jewel goes for her augmentative therapy appointment I will bring it along and am hoping they will want her to use this device instead of the static boards to practice with while at home. I will also find out today if the therapist has spoken to the school's social worker and see what her feel for them getting the device is. The school claims they will do whatever is best for her, but these things take time and I am truly not holding my breathe.
I am super busy today. My glasses are finally ready to be picked up, I am going to get my nails done which was a valentine's gift from my sweet husband (who also helped me dye my hair a couple nights ago, he is the best), Jewel has her appointment, and I need to find something to put together for dinner in case I am running late tonight. I feel like I have a million things going on and am just not feeling much of any of it. Amber has been recommended for intervention and referral services at school which did not come as a shock to me, but that's another thing we are in the process of. We explained to her there is a strong possibility next year that she may have to repeat 1st grade. She took it a lot better then we expected. She actually said she thinks that it may be better for her. My jaw almost hit the floor. We shall see what the next few months brings.
It is still straight up winter here, minus the snow sadly, and I am just ready for it to be done. I am ready for spring, ready to go outside and not shiver. Ready for the windows to be open and to air the house out. Ready to start our seeds inside, ready for it to be warm enough for them to be planted outside. Ready to take the dog for long walks at night and not rush it so we could get back inside and stop freezing our tuckuses off.
Anyway I guess I need to get off my butt and start doing some of these things that need to be done today. I have a feeling it is going to be a really really long day.
