I finally found out this past Monday that my son has been approved to continue attending the school that I convinced the sp. ed. director to try for 4 weeks (the last 4 weeks of last school year). It was such a good fit for my son...that he's going back.
He went from making all F's except in PE (A) to All A's and one B (history) at the new school. I'm hoping that this will be the beginning of him finally getting an education....and eventually graduating from school.
We're on the 21 year plan for now....but as long as he does better....and succeeds...I'll be thrilled.
Thank You Joan and Karen...for helping educate me quickly as to what was available and how to get it.....and the many others here that gave me moral support.
That's wonderful news. I recall some of your posts from a few months back and you were definitely going through some tough times with the school. I'm so glad this is working out for you. You went the distance and it's clear that your good relationship with your son is helping to pull him through. GREAT news! If we helped at all, that's great, but it is YOU who did it (and your son's efforts on his own behalf). Congratulations to you both.Congratulations, you have really become a great advocate for your son. I know you have been through a lot. You should be very proud of your accomplishments it's not easy, and you did it. GREAT JOB MOM.

No sleeping in class and he had no more hives there or at home...and is eating all the same foods that he always ate.
We're going to stick with the melatonin in the evenings...so he can fall asleep faster...and he loves the white noise machine.
Yes...still on cloud nine....I am coming down...and relaxing more...but I couldn't not come here and thank those that have helped so much!
Still walking on cloud nine?
You know how thrilled I am for you and Greg, the big winner in all your fighting. I forgot to ask you, did the sleeping in class and hives go away with the school change?
Congratulations on the hard earned victory for your son:) Very inspiring:)Glad
