Well, we are now into the third week of Cody's new meds. I just increased the dosage today and am hoping that I see more results from the meds in the next few days. I am happy to report that we had a follow up SST with the school on Monday and it went very well. The school seems very willing to work with us. We also filled out the paperwork to get Cody started on a 504 plan. This plan will give him special accommodations to be able to be more successful with his academics. We are a little bit bummed that we didn't get this done sooner but there hasn't been very good communication between us and the school prior to me really starting to question how well Cody is doing.
Daniel and I were able to meet with the therapist yesterday that directs the camp that he will be attending this summer. We told her all about Cody and she gave us some recommendations, including that we should request a full Psycho educational evaluation from his school to see exactly where he is in his academics. We will take Cody to meet with her in a couple of weeks. We are very hopeful that this camp will help Cody.
This morning I left Cody at school fighting with another boy that he doesn't get along with and his teacher being totally overwhelmed by them and trying to get her class ready for library time. It's so frustrating because I can't do anything or stay to help until my background is cleared by the district and it's been 3 weeks now. It's not like I have some major conflicts in my past that should be holding this process up! Being a Mom you want to take control of the situation but you have to step back and let the teacher handle it. I stayed in the hallway until her student teacher came but as I was leaving I heard Cody tell the teacher that his so called friends were hurting his feelings. UUGGHH!!! I really wish he would make some new friends. This group of boys he plays with are just the worst! One minute they are nice and the next minute they are mean. So much drama for being in the first grade!
I left with such mixed feelings, wanting to help but knowing that there's nothing I can do...
