Happy Valentine's Day!
Well I heard back from her pediatrician and all her bloodwork came back at normal levels. This was fantastic news since I was concerned her levels were going to be high...I'm hoping it is because of the healthy changes we've made to our diet recently. I can't help but be a bit bummed about the results too because I was hoping there was an answer to the headaches hidden away in her veins...isn't that sad? You get to a point where you hope there is a problem with your child cause then you'll finally have an answer. Her blood sugar was on the higher end of the normal range, but normal...so, so much for that being the reason for the headache.
Today I get to meet with the school to discuss options for Cassie. Which means I have a new group of teachers that I have to explain the situation to all over again and listen to their suggestions which are going to be pretty pointless. I have a doctor's note that states she cannot attend school when the headaches are bad...they are bad...hence, no Cassie in school. Do I want her to go to school? Yes. Does she want to go to school? Yes. I just want to walk in and say "hello...who is going to tutor her? You...excellent...see you tomorrow and don't forget the pile of make up work she'll have. Good bye." Oh, I can't forget that she hasn't taken her finals from the first semester (except math because guess who was her tutor...the math teacher). I'm going to sign her up for VLACS (our online school) as well...she's got some credits to make up.
My husband just called and said he's coming to the meeting. You'd think this was a good idea...but we've been butting heads lately about the whole school thing and frankly, I do not want to fight in front of the other teachers. I mean, my husband is going to walk in and say "I want my daughter in school"...what are the teachers going to say? "No...school isn't important she should stay home". This isn't about the school not allowing her in it is about the pain level she is experiencing and how it is not practical to send her to school in such pain.
Every day my husband says to Cassie "if you feel up to it I'll bring you to school tomorrow". Every other day my husband says to me "she really needs to be in school"...and every other day I explain to him why she isn't in school and how I am trying to fix that so at least she can get some sort of an education while trying to reduce the pain. When her headache was a 5 she went to school...okay, so if I can get the headache to a 5 (maybe even a 6) then she'd go to school. I'm not hoping for a freaking 0 anymore...that's way down on the importance list...I want it to be a stupid 5! So, instead of hubby saying "okay let's work on this" I get "yeah but...{insert repetitive conversation here}". I feel like we just aren't on the same page and frankly it is really not helping my stress level...and it isn't helping Cassie either.
Maybe I'll be surprised and they'll be a united parent front today...or, I might be eating at Florence's by myself tonight.
