SATURDAY DECEMBER 13TH 2008

     HI EVERYONE, WE HAVE BEEN DOING GOOD OURSELVES LATELY.

KALEB DID GOOD FOR THE MOST PART ON HIS REPORT CARD, I GOT IT LAST WEDNESDAY ON THE 3RD.  MY ONE ON ONE VISIT W/THE COUNSELOR WENT GOOD LAST WEEK ON THURS. THE 4TH, WE HAD A VERY GOOD DISCUSSION & I WAS ABLE TO HAVE A WHOLE HOUR INSTEAD OF THE USUAL 50 MINS., CAUSE HIS 3PM CST APPT. HAD CANCELLED SO I WAS ABLE TO GO IN EARLIER IF I WANTED TO SO I WENT IN A HALF HOUR EARLY & WE TALKED & DISCUSSED THINGS FOR AN HOUR.  HE ALSO WANTED TO KNOW HOW KALEB WAS DOING IN SCHOOL, SO I TOLD AS A MATTER OF FACT I HAD HIS REPORT CARD W/ME FROM THE NITE B4 SO I COULD SHOW HIM KALEB'S REPORT CARD.  HIM & THE PSYCHIATRIST BOTH AGREED W/ME ON THAT MY SON DOES HAVE ODD (OPPOSITIONAL DEFIANT DISORDER) & THE COUNSELOR SAID, THAT I SHOULD BE LUCKY THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE CD (CONDUCT DISORDER) ALONG W/THE ADHD & ODD.  HE SAID THAT THE REASON WHY MOST DOCTOR'S DON'T PUT THE ODD OR CD ON THE CHART IS CAUSE THAT MOST INSURANCE COMPANY'S WON'T COVER THE COST OR PART OF THE COST FOR THE TREATMENT OF ODD/CD, HE SAID THAT IF IT'S ON THERE W/THE ADHD DIAGNOSES HE DIDN'T KNOW FOR SURE IF THE INSURANCE COMPANY'S WOULD COVER THE COST/PART OF THE COST FOR TREATMENT.  HE ALSO SAID THAT THE SCHOOL MY SON'S GOING TO DOESN'T HAVE THE RESOURCES FOR MY SON'S ADHD & ODD & THAT HE SHOULD BE IN ONE OF THE OTHER 2 ELEMANTARY SCHOOLS IN THE TOWN WE LIVE IN.  SO THIS COMING MONDAY DEC. 15TH I HAVE MY SON'S ANNUAL IEP MEETING AT 730AM CST IN THE MORNING, SO I AM MOST LIKELY JUST GOING TO TAKE THE DAY OFF OF WORK & CHECK OUT THE OTHER 2 SCHOOLS IN THE AREA.  I TOLD HIM (THE COUNSELOR) THAT MY SISTER SAID WHAT IF THE SCHOOL BOARD WON'T LET U XFER HIM TO A NEW SCHOOL & I TOLD HIM (THE COUNSELOR) THAT I TOLD HER THAT IF THEY WON'T LET THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM W/THE COUNSELOR & THE PSYCHIATRIST WRITING & SIGNING A PAPER THAT STATES THAT MY SON NEEDS TO XFER SCHOOLS SO HE CAN GET THE BEST/MOST OPPORTUNITY TO GET A GOOD EDUCATION AS WELL AS HAVING A SCHOOL W/A SYSTEM THAT CAN BETTER HELP HIM W/HIS DISORDERS.  WELL I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE A GOOD X-MAS & A NEW YEAR IN CASE I DON'T WRITE AGAIN B4 THE END OF THE YEAR. 

TAKE CARE --- HEATHER & KALEB
