I have so so many things to blog about...one being a recipe (and a pic) of stuffed shells without tomato sauce (super easy BTW!)...Just things...I'm running behind since the kids moved in full time. But I'm LOVING it!!
Next week is spring break and the older kids get an extra 3 days because they get to move into the new high school upon their return...Gotta get some pictures of them at the old high school...some day they will come to appreciate that. The new high school is twice the size of the one they are using now.
Harley's IEP is on Wednesday. I've been making call after call and getting nowhere. You'll never catch these people at their desks so there's no sense in going all the way out to their offices to camp out for them. Talk about frustration!? I never even got a draft copy of the IEP...It'll probably come home tomorrow. I still haven't gotten a call to confirm my request to have the meeting moved from 3:45 (giving us an hour) to 2:00 (since it is a triennial, we're gonna need more than an hour). I did find out where he will be attending next year and I am NOT happy...after all they AGREED with me that this school was a less than desirable placement for him, but they are opening the new ASD program at that school and feel that he's going to require LESS integration until he can get his agressiveness under control. Anyway, I'll know more about it Wednesday since the school officials have decided to go incommunicado with me :( ... They are making this very difficult when we should be working together.
Today Harley went to the psychiatrist. We've been trying a new med, not sure if I've even blogged about that I've been so busy and my mind is swimming with so many things. Well this med isn't working well at all...he seems more agitated, but it can take up to 4-6 weeks to see results...so this is just him without meds!!?? Anyhow, the psychiatrist, after hearing some of the reports of what's happened over the last two weeks at home and school decided it may be best to have some sedatives on hand. When his agression gets to the point of unmanageable (sp?) we are supposed to drop him 1/2 a tablet. I have tried for so so so many years to avoid this but unfortantely it's looking like it might be the only option of relief for us all (him as well as us because he becomes self-abusive as well as agressive towards others). It made me cry today when I heard that he has now been prescribed a sedative for behavioral control :(
I'm beat, so this is going to have to end here. I'm on Harley watch for a few more hours so if I NEED something to keep me awake I'll come back again and maybe even get that recipe posted?
