Friday, May 15

6:06 a.m. - Yesterday was busy ... I had IEP meetings all morning long, and then I had to work on a variety of items after arriving to ICE, including assisting with the graduation walk of the RHS grads that attended Illinois City Elementary.  I got home around 2 p.m., and rested a bit and finished my book, and then Amber and I went to Luke's pre-school graduation ceremony.  That was a long day; my surgery leg was really swollen.

Today's first PT appointment is going to be painful.  I would really like my time at ICE to be quiet.  And then I'd really like to have a restful weekend.  Today is pay day....maybe that's a good thing to focus on.

Thursday, May 14

5:43 a.m. - Yesterday was a long day.  I had my first post-op consult with ORA - Brandon this time instead of Dr. Hussein.  Apparently everything is looking okay.  I'll take their word for it.  I am backing off some more of the medications, so that's good.  Mom took me to my appointment, so it was nice spending some time with her.  I had a little time before going to ICE, so I went in the house and visited with them for a bit - I think I got to ICE about 10:30 a.m.  Yesterday we pushed out the next new opening at ICE - we are going to have a second section of kindergarten.  It's going to be a full, full building next school year.  So now we need to hire a nurse, a kindergarten teacher, and a pre-k teacher, and that's after we have already secured a new interventionist and a new special education teacher.  It's going to be a busy May and June.  My last year of working in education is not going to be simple.  

After school I just came home and then was soon among the Harrisons and then the Southwells.  Amber and all those folks eventually headed different directions, and I read my book and turned into bed early.    I did have another episode of sleeplessness again, so I dealt with that.  I wish I could just sleep comfortably all the way through the night.  

Today is going to be a mess.  I have to sit in IEP meetings all morning long, so I'm going to get ready for school early but then stay home.  There is no sense going to ICE and sitting in chairs at these meetings...that will be very uncomfortable.  I will head that direction after the meetings are all done.

Wednesday, May 13

5:53 a.m. - Yesterday was a productive day.  I was able to get some things done at school, and I was able to get some things done at home.  Last night was okay, too, as I also tried to get some work done then.  I needed to review data from our recent MAP and m-Class assessments and figure out who earned certificates of accomplishment.  

Today I have a consult with my surgery doctor, even though I think I'm meeting with Brandon who is the physician assistant for Dr. Hussein right now.  My mom is going to take me to the appointment, but I think after today I'll be driving myself to all the physical therapy appointments.  I then need to continue to make accomplishments at school.
