Had Nates IEP meeting today which did not go as well as I thought it would. Well some of it was fine, some good, some great news.. others just frustrates me to hell.

His overall IQ has not changed, but his skill levels have increased a full grade in the last 3 years. This is wonderful news, hes still learning and what Im pushing for is worth it.  I had to fight to keep PT, which I think is hilarious that they want to drop. Seriously, because he can walk up and down stairs with a helmet hes all ready to enter the big world? Um, NO. She actually said she didnt think seeing him for 30mins a week would make his life different. Then maybe you should see him MORE than 30 and not LESS. Ya, I kept her on consult and I am going to call his dr and get an outside eval done again. Its that time and its needed.

He is doing well in an OT standpoint, but again they are only doing how it effects his school. Not that he can not manipulate a button to do his own shirts. They talked about living skills but do not see how the basics are missing in order to gain those skills.  His speech is great and she had some great ideas on new goals. His educational aspect is going great, although now they are putting OT into that. IDK, just want to bang my head on the wall. Its the first time I ever had to tell a school I was NOT comfortable with a discontinuation of services. I felt like teh PT saw it as a waste of her time, like she could be better off with another student. Like Nate was ok enough that it was fine to let him fall flat on his face. Oh he did that this morning.

Other than this.. Em, Noah and now Nate are all home sick still. Jack went to school. Im heading back to bed for a lil while since I was up late and early.  IM hungry but more exhausted. Thinking I need some rest so I can gain back the energy I wasted walking up and down 3 flights of stairs at the school TWICE.
