School's back

[emma_in_dream]

So Pearl has been back at school for one day and the routine of stress and having to do too much has resumed.

The teacher would like her to get a teacher's aide. My first response was horror and instinctive denial but probably it would be for the best, not just for her but for all the kids in the class room.

So I am off to get documentation on NF1 and her history to support the application.

I do feel that miserable sometimes and I know it is because I am comparing the wrong way. I keep looking at people whose kids are healthy and whose experiences are straightforward whereas I should be comparing downwards.

1, I could live in America where I would have all the medical stuff but also be fighting with insurance companies who seem, over there, to be forces of pure evil.
2, I could have a child with a really serious illness.
3, I could have, I don't know, unsupportive husband or my leg might fall off or something.

But, really, bother. This is just another of the endless hoops we have to jump through.

Do you want me to ask the parents of kids with teachers aides if they have any useful comments to pass on to you about the application process? There are multiple in youngest's year.

Yes, that would be great, thanks.

will attempt to remember to do so this week, given that I'm going to be at the school twice (argh, twice) for mother's day teas (one morning, one afternoon, different days. argh).
