It's colder than a witch's titty

 A winter storm is coming!

Having a headache all day tells me that a winter storm is coming! Evey slept in until 5:45 and I dressed her in a cute little fur vest. She thought she looked cute! She ate 5 bites of her waffle and was done and wanted down to play. She played until the nurse got there at 645am.



I got the little kids bundled up  for a chilly morning and we headed to school. Evey did NOT want to go to school. She looked at her teacher, threw her body back and cried. I quickly left so that she could settle down. Thankfully, her PT and a new PT were there to help calm her down with songs. 



I leave school at 12:40pm to pick her up from her school. ( My administration is amazing to let me leave to go get her!). When I got to her school, she was happily playing on the floor with one of her buddies. I think she was surprised to see me there. On the way home, the nurse filled me in on how she did and she said she ate well and worked really hard in physical therapy. Some of her classmates are moving up to the next room because they can walk and she will be getting new friends in the classroom. I think by the end of the year she might be the only girl in her class!

When I got home from school, Laney and I took a quick walk in the neighborhood and found two Jack Reacher books in the little free library. We were excited that we would have some reading material this weekend!

Jonah and Ty played with Evey in the living room. When I got back I saw that Jonah had picked her up and sat her in the chair with pillows all around her. He was showing her all of his Star Wars lego sets. She was loving looking  at them. Ty wanted to sit with her and let her watch a show with him. She would get right on top of the screen covering it so that he couldn't watch it. He wasn't amused but she sure was! 

Joshua took a quick trip to the grocery store to get the Snow essentials! We are prepared for Winter Storm '25! When he came back she was getting tired and cranky so to not upset her, I spun her around a few times and that readjusted her attitude. We kissed everyone good night and she fell asleep within 5 minutes of me rocking her. 


We are excited to see what the next 72 hours brings us. Tomorrow is going to be colder than a witch's titty so we will be bundling up and praying for snow!


Be like a bee- hardworking, wise and delicate!

Expect the Unexpected

Image
       When I first started teaching at Cornerstone and the charter school way was new to me, a lot of things I had to learn how to handle without a program administrator or someone downtown telling me what to do. The best advice I got from our director was to expect the unexpected and things would seem a little easier. From that day on and each new school year I expected the unexpected so that I wouldn't get bogged down with all the chaos that a new school year brings.      At the beginning of this school year, I learned that Evey would need another open heart surgery. I was not expecting that to be told to us. Her doctors weren't expecting it either. I went into a whirlwind of emotions. I started the school year off with a negative attitude. I didn't want to be there. I couldn't handle putting Evey to sleep because the long nights at the hospital and after her first heart surgery  crept back in. There were many nights I cried because I just want...

54 days

 It's been 54 days since last updating the blog.  From April until the end of May is a busy time of year for teachers. It's also been a rollercoaster of emotions for us as we have transitioned to CAP-C and a new nursing agency at the end of April. No one truly knows the amount of time it takes and the emotions a parent feels getting the RIGHT services for a child with a disability unless they have lived it.  There are so many people that take a job just to get money. Others take a job because they are passionate about the work they do. The nurses we have met through the new agency just want a paycheck. I bought two more cameras to have in our house because I just do not trust the nurse that comes in to take care of Evey. When I have peeked in on them, the nurse is on her phone ALL the time, not interacting with Evey and does the bare minimum. It's been excruciating to watch. She has regressed with her development because the nurse does nothing with her. I have contacted t...

Why is it so hard?

Image
 Getting what Evey needs should be easy. Why is it hard then? Why do I have to call Social Services each year to say, "Yes, she still has tri21" so that she can get medicaid? But when I call, I'm on hold for 30 minutes at a time. I called two separate times today and was on hold for 30 minutes. The first time, I called on one of my planning breaks and had to end the call because I had to get my kinders to teach them. The other time I called, I was on hold for 30 minutes but had to end the call because Ty needed something. Maybe I will have better luck tomorrow.  Evey was also denied CAP-C so now I have to go through the appeal process. Why would they appeal a child with tri21 with a gtube? All the paperwork is there! It's not like one day she won't have tri21!  It's so frustrating! I am in the process of trying to get her school to increase her Occupational therapy time so that she can progress with her fine motor skills. While crawling will help A LOT of thos...
