2nd Opinion

We followed up with Princess G's pediatric pulmonologist today to see if things are getting a little more under control. He decided it was time to try a new medication. I feel good about the change, but I am a little nervous. I told him that we had pulled Princess G out of school as asked by our Pediatrician. He said that was old medicine, they use to do it a lot more with kids. I asked if he felt it was unnecessary to do this. He said no in this case it is very necessary. To be so sick 3 times in six weeks is way too much. He went a little further and said that he also does not recommend Primary on Sundays (once I explained how church went), or any other large gatherings where there will be lots of kids. We have not really explained it to Princess G yet, and I don't know how much she really gets it yet. I feel really bad for her. It does not help that she is totally my child and VERY social. I just don't ever want her to think she is being punished. I have decided that I am going to talk to the parents of the kids she plays with and set up some regular play dates. As long as the kids are not sick. I think that will give Princess G something to look forward to every week. I have not told her yet that we have to cancel her Birthday party. I just feel bad for having to take away everything from her.

I am excited that as far as home school goes, I have found a great curriculum to follow. I found it after hour and hours of Internet research. What a task that was. I found a couple that I thought looked pretty good, but every time I went to purchase one I would not feel right about it and wouldn't buy them. Then I thought I should look up what other parents thought of the curriculum. Each one I was interested in other parents had negative opinions about. It came to a point that we thought that people where only leaving an opinion if they were unhappy. We thought we would have to pick a curriculum and hope for the best. Then like what seemed out of nowhere, we found a curriculum that we liked and so did every other parent who had reviewed it. YEAH!!! We bought it. This program has everything we need for a full year of teaching. It breaks everything down into daily lessons. It looks really good. I am so excited to start on Monday, and so is Princess G. I feel so blessed that everything has fallen into place. We even got real school desks and chairs for our little home school classroom. I wanted Princess G to be able to transition hopefully next year back to school with as little of a problem as possible. I felt having a small school desk and chair may help with that. I am even a stickler about her writing her name on her papers before she "hands them in". I hope it works. Ask me in two weeks how it is going. We did though get Sunshine a desk too, that way both girls have their own desk and I can teach Sunshine preschool at the same time. Wow I have my work cut out for me. Wish me luck, I need to go do my lesson plans.
