Prayers

I am really praying that we can get James into preschool on a scholarship this fall. The occupational & speech therapists, as well as the pediatric psychologist, all feel that being in a preschool environment will "force" James to keep his temper under control, as well as assist with his speaking. His scores on everything came out to average. He's placing just under the age of 3 in a few areas, right at a 3 year old level on others, and up to a 4 year old level in others. Basically he's just a bright kid...he just has some weird sensory issues. They said he does NOT have Autism or Asperger's Disorder.

Sabrina is going to Calvary Chapel up in Merritt Island for their VPK program. I'm filling out a scholarship application now for James, in hopes that if we can pay 50% of the tuition costs, maybe we can get a scholarship for the remainder, plus I put on there that I can contribute daily in office assistance and / or be a teacher's aide. Hopefully by showing my willingness to work, they'll be more likely to consider giving the scholarship.

I had my results appointment yesterday, and I am a candidate for the endometrial ablation. They'll call in a few weeks and set up the surgery date. The good news with that is that I will only be "out of commission" for a few days. Since they do the proceedure on Thursday mornings, I'd be home by Thursday afternoon, and should be back to normal by Monday. Chris will be able to take a few days off of work, as we have a lot of leave time and comp. time available.

That's pretty much all that's going on here. I was going to be heading for New York this weekend, but, due to health issues on my sister-in-law's end, that's postponed until some other time. So, I'm going to hit the outlet mall this weekend, without kids, for some much needed retail therapy.

Oh, Michele -

Praying for you that everything works out. Please let me know when your surgery is scheduled - I'll arrange for meals for you.

I am adding you to the prayer list as we speak! I pray that your little one gets the help he needs and your surgery and recovery will go well.
