working on helping us with difficult child 1's situation. We will have letters from a ton of folks at least four that I am aware of to take with us to court on Tuesday. Plus staff from the facility will be there.
We also had the new IEP today to set up a plan etc for extending her past what would be her graduation. These school folks said they will get us the outline of the stuff emailed to us by tommorrow. We had the IEP this afternoon. These folks are doing their jobs and then some. I can't tell you how many times I have thanked them all for all they do. I had one say well you should be way burnt out about this and you still work so hard and you live with this situation we can at least work as hard as you do on this. I can't tell you the warm fuzzies that gave me.
My one hope is that this is not all in vain. Over the next few days I am going to be hoping and praying for miracles.
Monday we have our first staffing at difficult child 2's place and his IEP. Then on Tuesday we have difficult child 1's permanancy hearing. I hope we get some decent news coming our way. I certainly am not holding my breath.
I just can't get over how much these folks are working on this. Yes it is there job to help but we have been let down in so many other situations that I sit here in awe of them. I tell you what I think I might send them all some nice daisies or something after this court hearing just for all their effort. Or I might just make them all a cheesecake. I know I don't have the IEP information in my hand but these folks were just on top of things. When it was spelled out what kinds of things they hoped would happen I said ok what kind of timeline are we looking at for this. And the guy running the IEP started giving me answers. REAL and accomplishable answers of how we can work to help difficult child 1. Not only that but when she was asked (and they and we asked her if this was the way she wanted to do things) she replied. I do believe she is a bit overwhelmed but she has a goal in mind of what she wants to do. Can she do it? Only time will tell. The school system is certainly willing to give her a leg up on this.
Maybe I was wrong maybe Iowa isn't so bad in its care as long as you find the right place to go.
One can only hope this is going to work. Is it wrong that I am hoping the judge we normally have is on vacation or ill? He will be our biggest block on this as he is normally a yes and man to whatever the caseworker says. The thing is with all of this behind us one can hope it will be enough. Again not holding my breath but I keep telling myself if I stay positive maybe, just maybe someone will get their head out of their behind.
