Today I am grateful for

September 29th, 2010 at 04:20 pm


(1) My daughter's blood tests came back and everything is fine. She was to the doctor for a lump on her neck on Monday, and the doc noticed her thyroid seemed enlarged, too. "All is as it should be" said the doctor this AM at 8:15. She knew I was concerned about it, I am grateful for my daughter's health and the doctor's kindness and consideration.

(2) My first son has dyslexia and struggles to read. He is a year behind at this point (3rd grade) but is having a difficult time. I was at a meeting this morning with the District's Superintendent and the funds available for services to private/parochial school students has increased this year from $35K to $80K (federal stimulus money from the government for this one year only). My son will be able to see the Resource Teacher twice a week for 60 minute total (double what he is getting). I am grateful that the resources are being made available now, when he seems to be struggling the most.

Off to more speech and then haircuts for the kids after school. I know this is a non-financial post, but I just wanted to share what I'm grateful for!

    That's all great news. Now that I am a mom, I finally understand why my mom worried about me so much. Or should I say worries...

    I hope that the extra help he receives this year will give him enough of a boost to last him a long time.

    That is truly a relief about your daughter, and I am glad that you have the insurance of a caring physician to provide the care and the news in that manner. Most of the males in my immediate family have dyslexia, and I know that this extra time for your son will lead to a positive difference. Those are both great bits of news!
