Addendum to Decay

Had the meeting with the school district - went fairly well. We need to provide documentation, and get all our ducks in a row, they will ask for information on the preschool program and we will go from there. They seem to understand the nature of the problem - lack of intensity and lack of individualization. We've gone from over 35 hours a week of 1:1 therapy to likely 5 hours of 1:1. Big difference. Currently he is not receiving any 1:1 in the school program until they can assess his skills. Next meeting in two weeks.

As for Sophia, she will receive some transitional OT in school that will be assessed every 10 weeks. The school district will not recognize most diagnosis types that Sophie could receive so looks like it will be up to us to do the research and follow through .

Meanwhile, the root canal has not "taken". I have a meeting this afternoon for "Job Seeker Orientation" that I will then run to the endodontics office to see why there is still trouble in paradise.

Could that magical balance in life be occurring? I will gladly take my troubled tooth if that means we get Zach what he needs without issue and Sophie will get some help too. People are probably laughing at me, but it sure does feel that is how life works out for me; no pleasure without some pain.
