[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 83713"] Spoke with the program directer on and off through the night. We came up with a plan. She was going to be at the school until shortly after lunch. So, we set up a "modified" day. He came in later, left early. She met him in the office when we came in, and she took him to the library. He had two chapter tests yesterday, and she hooked him up with the computer so he could take the tests using the computer. No teacher/classroom stress. Worked out great. She is also speaking to his teachers about having his homework for the days he has been out, and will be out modified. She said they do that with any student having medical issues. That way the student doesn't feel so overwhelmed trying to complete so much work while recovering. As much as I want difficult child to be IN the class learning, this has been an extremely tough week. I sent husband a text to call me at work early Friday am. He did. I tried to explain the "modified" day. (husband and I are having a rought time..to say the least) He just went off. He doesn't think difficult child should stay up late to do homework, and I insisted he stay up and do it. Maybe if he did it at school, or in class he wouldn't need to be staying up late. So, when I mentioned this modified day, he just went off. You know, all my fault. So, I never was able to explain. Just told him I am not going to deal with him when he is yelling. So, instead of having difficult child sleep in, husband woke him up and told him to get ready for school. I left work early Friday also. Spoke to him about the plans for the day. He was very happy. "only if it is ok with you mom" This day made all the difference in the world. He was so much more at ease. Like a ton of weight was lifted off him. He was SO much more relaxed. A whole different kid. This was amazing. I will never hesitate again to do this. I wonder if we can have a "modified" day scheduled in somewhere. It was wonderful. [/QUOTE]
