So far, so good!

Hectic and nerve-wracking with never ending responsibilities! That is how I would sum-up getting back to school.  Although James had no desire to go at the beginning (see him hiding on the way to his first day of school?), he is a new man this week.  He floored me yesterday when, he sat down at his table and pointed to his homework notebook! James has liked school for a long time but WANTING to do homework? Who is this kid (and can we keep him)?  He also started his therapy schedule well.  This is the first time after a break that James did not go a few steps back.  Although I did see some backwards-sliding behavior at the end of vacation, he bounded forward again, seamlessly.  I got the RSAs fairly quickly and our doctor visit went well (James will be tested for mitrochondrial DNA disorders and given a Titers test, before more shots are given).  Next hurdle is the IEP meeting with the Board of Ed.  I hope all goes well and he can stay at his special school and remain in his current therapy session.  Prayers please!!
