Today is the day...

...that we go see the doctor about chelation. I am both nervous and excited because if Mr. Little Man is a candidate and this works out well for us I may be able to have a conversation with my son by then end of the year. Keep your fingers crossed.

I also had a meeting with our school district last week, which usually entails 4 or 5 staff members and myself sitting around a table. Generally, they'll tell me all of the "great" things that they are going to do for my son. Their idea and my idea differ in every conceivable way. Generally, I just smile and nod and then tell them what I want. It's not pretty. The legal system has time limit parameters in place for special education. Usually the school district doesn't do what they are supposed to do in the alloted time so we end up getting everything they never wanted to give us.

If chelation works well for us I am hopeful that Mr. Little Man will be able to integrate into a school for normally developing children. And as I was sitting in this meeting last week I was looking at all of these people around the table and saying a silent prayer that I'd never have to look at any of them again.

What I am reading: Brushing up on all my questions for the doctor.
What I am listening to: Philip Glass - Metamorphosis One. I don't listen to alot of classical music, but Philip Glass' Solo Piano is stunning.
