Hi & Group, just happened to ask the question about school on the night that I had already decided that I just needed to whine and cry. I have been reading all the posts and silently entered all my posts, sorry. I answered a few but short. I am so slammed right now that I am not concentrating on anything. I can't sit still long enough to actually write all my thoughts. I think that last time I posted about school was after the PPT meeting or maybe I didn't. I haven't decided if it's the age or the stress that is fogging the mind. I went to the PPT meeting with my oldest son, the DMR and the lawyer. The PPT meeting did not go well. The school attorney basically did most of the talking and their position was to place Zeb in an isolated placement in the same school with a behavioral plan that included physical restraint or we would go to a hearing.The school did agree to an independant consultant and we were in mutual agreement with that person. The school would contact the consultant to set up a time etc. I had spoken to that consultant about the 3rd week of March and she said she would go in. They also said they would not recognize any recomendations from Zeb's psychologist etc. I had no choice but to choose a hearing. The last time I spoke to the attorney I was told there would not be a hearing because they could not ask for a hearing on those grounds. I recieved a call from the consultant telling me that she would not go into the school because the district showed poor intent and she would not work that way. I was crushed at the moment but par for the course. I called the central office to ask them why they agreed when they had no intent. They were going to find another person that we could agree upon and also would discuss this at the hearing. I told them I hadn't heard as yet and frantically called the attorney. The attorney was on vacation and now I am dealing with another person in the firm and they just had a prehearing conference. The school attorney changed the hearing reason for danger to himself and others. We have a hearing for this friday. The attorney called this evening and I am so upset at all the lies. They told him that I am a problem mother and they have had to call the police on me numerous times! I have never caused a disturbance at school, nor have I raised my voice, used bad language or have ever had the police called. I do admit I went to school when they wouldn't let Zeb in with the runny nose I might have used sterner language but not to the point of being escorted out of the school or the police called. I now wish I had. The attorney says he could set up a satelite office here in this district but this is the worse cat fight he has ever seen over something that could be resolved. He personally feels the school district has no vested interest in Zeb, dah! I think that's why I needed an attorney. I need to have witnesses ready for friday morning but two other dates are planned. I think I will loose my mind before this is over. My daughter just moved back home pregnant with cervical cancer. I keep telling myself it could be worse but I am finding worse harded to imagine. Sorry for the book but I really needed to vent or spent the night crying and feeling sorry for myself. Charlyne Mom to Zeb 9 DS/OCD ?

Charlyne >> Oh Charlyne, I am so sorry. :-( Spending all your money on an attorney and having things go this way. You vent away sweetie. This has been such a long, hard battle. I wish I had words of wisdom and comfort for you. What's with cervical cancer lately? My step granddaughter is 6 months pregnant and has cancer and so does my daughter's friend. Prayers for your daughter and you. I'll pray also that the good Lord guide your attorney and that the school's mistakes come to light to work against them. YOU take care of yourself!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Charlyn, what about the abuse charge? What ever came of that? Oh Charlyn, you are NOT a problem mother, you are not only trying to get the best situation for your Zeb but also for other kids with special needs, also most important you are trying to make sure he is safe, that sounds to me like a GOOD mom, listen I will be praying for your daughter, I see this is such a hard time for you, vent when ever you need to, it is better than crying, God Bless you, Dawn Re: Re: & Group In a message dated 6/4/2002 7:01:02 PM Eastern Daylight Time, burnett@... writes: > How are things at Zeb's school?

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 Hi , Great to hear from you. Saturday was finally Zeb's turning point! He started to eat, a soft boiled egg and drank 8oz. of apple juice. He has been eating and drinking since then, still very soft foods. He lost about 10 lbs. but could certainly afford the weight loss. I can't tell you what a relief it is. I'll try to get caught up on the posts this week. I just finished my weekend of events. It's been a long winter in the east and I think people were ready to go out. I was mobbed. I'm still trying to clean my food trailers. Charlyne Mom to Zeb 10 DS/OCD ?

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I am guilty of not being active in group also..I went no mail when my daughter was getting married June 1st, I had so much going on during and after, just couldnt handle all the mail..I took a break because I needed it.The old words of wisdom, as I remember it, and learned here " Be Good To Yourself " , then things seem to get better with a rested body and a clearer mind. ?..Hang in there (my tx twin)..things do change with time. Your one of the strongest gals I know, you worked full time during the whole 48 wks, something I know I couldnt have done. You will bounce back. Depression, being single & the only bread winner is a heavy load on anyone. I found that out after tx and still had plenty of bouts of deep depression. I dont have the energy I had before tx(but gettin older)..I can go & go then I crash & burn..but Ive realized that I need to take my ambien even during the day after work sometimes because my head wont shut the hell up..and my poor ole body needs sleep. Im happy to see that everyone is still looking out for each other here in our wonderful group & wish only the best for All, I know I would not have made it this far without the support & love that everyone gave to me. Im still very grateful for this gift. Life is still a rollercoaster even off tx Hugs Always Pattymc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
