After posting such a negative update last time, we had an amazing weekend with the boys. We were outside most of the weekend--working in the yard, getting ice cream, going to the parks (yes, not once, but twice--in one day! Thanks, Rob.). We are thinking that Eric has allergies. He has been miserable the last two months and recently started coughing, getting really hoarse, etc. I started giving him Claritin on Friday night and maybe that has made all the difference. I assumed it was being outside all weekend--fresh air, bare feet and lots of sun--what every little boy needs. But maybe he is just feeling better--you know, "Claritin clear."
We have the "special" doctor's appointment on May 7. I'm fairly certain they will order more blood work to see where the boys are in comparison to last year. I'm hoping they can do some allergy testing on Eric as well. Poor boy got all the crap in life--aside from the obvious--lazy eye, webbed toe, glasses, nappy hair...I could go on and on. He's cute as hell though, so....
We have Eric's IEP meeting on Thursday (also happens to be Benny's eighth birthday--he's getting so old :-(). I'm anxious to meet his teacher. I saw her when I went to visit the classroom and have spoken with her on the phone, but I'm still excited to sit down and chat with her. I met his speech therapist that he will have next year and she is amazing. Had some really great ideas for Eric--after only meeting him for a few minutes! Things no one had thought of before. She also holds a lot of the same beliefs as me, i.e., if he is using his words, he should be rewarded, etc.
Saturday, Rob and I are headed to PSU for the night. A night away for our seventh anniversary. Yep, seven years. It has flown by!
I will hopefully post more after this week to let you know how the IEP meeting went.
