Thanks for the supportive messages!

Hi, everyone. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your

supportive messages regarding our decision with Max's education. It

was a hard one to make and I was really nervous, but I think it will

work out. I'm so glad that you all care enough and that I can turn

to you for advice and a virtual shoulder to cry on.

I have since spoken to the Director of Special Services, the high

school psychologist/Max's case manager, and Max's history and math

teacher (he's the teacher for both subjects). Max is going to stay

in classes until 11:45 each day. If he is not feeling well, he can

go to the nurse's office and rest until he feels well enough to go

back to class. Basically, in that time period, Max has study

skills, digital photography, study hall, history and math. If he is

unable to complete history or math, then the teacher will give him

work to do at home. Home instruction will be in English.

Max knows that he will come home, take a break/rest and then have to

do reading and some chores. He is not coming home to watch TV for

the rest of the day. And he will get home instruction three days a

week.

Hopefully this will get Max on track for the rest of the school

year, which is less than two months anyway. And hopefully he will

feel better and be able to build up his strength. (BTW, when he has

his button placed next week, he will also be tested for the H Pylori

infection.)

Thanks again, everyone. You are a wonderful group!
