Dear GERD Moms:

I wanted to let you know that I will be "away from the computer" from today until Sunday, Dec. 3. I have been involved in an ongoing battle with my son Drew's new school district regarding retainment of his special ed. services. Tomorrow my husband and I are having our 4th ARD meeting with Drew's school. Drew started kindergarten this year and has a rare metabolic disease in addition to GERD and developmental delays which include learning disablilites. The district feels he "does not have an educational need" for special education services.They have picked a bone with the wrong person! As an ex-special ed. teacher and pediatric OT, it is insulting that they are doing this to my son. More importantly, I am concerned that Drew will quickly fall through the cracks.Sorry for getting on my soap box!

In addition, I have promised my 8 year-old a slumber birthday party this weekend. What was I thinking??? I promise I will get back to your threads this weekend when the smoke has cleared and I have caught up with sleep. Thank you for being understanding of my situation :icon_smi:

Hope you are able to make some headway w/your son's school. If anyone has the ability to go in there and present a very educated argument it's definitely you!

Good luck w/your daughter's slumber party. I remember how fun those were at that age. For the kids though, not so much the parents! LOL

Give em He**:box2: They are messing with the wrong mama!!! I hope you are able to get it all sorted out.

Good luck with the party. A house full of little girls all night! I am sure it will be a blast:hairpull:

Good luck!

Ditto!! ;)


And thanks for giving your valuable time to IRD! :)

Good luck, Robynne!! I'm sure you'll be able to mount a convincing argument for your son.

Have fun with the slumber party ... I am so NOT looking forward to those! :toothy10:

Good luck and thanks for all your hard work here!
