No news on the looping status though. They passed the budget with no increase, but we’re not sure on the status of all the BOE cuts. So much for last year’s surplus *sigh*.

We will be seeing a new therapist on the 18th, so we can hopefully get some of the recent behavioral issues under control. Listening is still doing well, although it’s so hard to tell sometimes which therapy is helping which issue, but we keep plugging along. I have seen what happens when we stop, and it was not a pretty sight! She is back to doing well after we decreased her meds. Upping them caused more issues focusing (very strange, I know!) and a lot of distracting off label side effects, like her nervous habit of picking her fingernails. That has gone back to her “normal” level and isn’t interfering as much with her work as it was.

We are headed to FL and Disneyworld for 10 or so days, so I’m not sure how feasable her listening schedule will be. I am going to try to make it as consistent as possible, or at least once a day. I’m hoping that it will be better than nothing.

Of course we are having the usual referal run around, now that we are trying to switch back to her original Physical Therapist. That, combined with the new roadblock tricare has set up, is really slowing us down. Now they are pushing school systems to cover more, so they can cover less, and only will approve the referrals with an IEP proving that she is not getting enough services from school and her doctor wants to see her getting more. Of course, since we only have a 504, this makes it even more complicated. Ugh!

So, not much news, and a whole lot of waiting. What else is new though, right? ;)
