good morning,
shocked is what I am, went up with-difficult child this a.m. to the school to change her schedule (she was in a team with-no one she knew at all) and asst. principal helped immediately, changed her schedule, gave her weekly therapy and added to 504, assisted me with-setting up a team mtg. to meet with-all her new teachers in a few days to get everyone on board, sent woman from his office to walk her to homeroom, assisted me with-alerting nurse about difficult child.
words cannot describe. like day and night with-her old elementary school. I think between support she'll get there, me still at home here, school only a block from the house, and a hopefully new pyschdoc on board she'll have a fighting chance. rest is up to her.
She was up till 3 a.m. last night, i gave up and laid with-her she needed it. got her up at 6 a.m. had to pull her out of bed and literally drag her into the shower to wake her up, we ran late because she began to fall asleep in there. Yet late worked for today because i knew we were heading up to office first.
so, today she has to work old schedule, and today after i pick her up we'll meet up in office and do new schedule for tmrw. which will at least begin her day with-a few familiar faces, her step brother, etc.
Her anxiety was soo bad this morning and last night, just kept working with-her to bring it down. i honestly wasn't sure if she'd make it out the door today. thought it would be a replay of last year. yet that silly locker of her's that i helped her decorate prior to school helped believe it or not. knowing her mirror, brush, stickers, etc. were in there helped me get her out the door.
one shakey moment when she began to cry in office, and than after homeroom she had a teacher walk her back down to office.
we'll see how the day goes, i'd love to sleep yet i want to be prepared incase she winds up in nurses office today and i get that call. she might not go there because even though i showed her where it is she's unsure of the bldg.
hope anyone else's whose difficult child started first day today goes well
