New Class

Well, now that Rylee has switched classrooms, we have seen tons of improvement. Especially in her behavior. Silly girl. But I am so excited and relieved that she was able to be switched and she is doing much better!

The Dentist

Today we tried to get Rylee into the dentist and to be looked at to see what is going on inside her mouth. Also she needed a cleaning. We have been through 4 dentists already that couldnt work on her. So today started pretty good. She went and sat in the chair and was talking to the assistant and even asked where the thing was that she had to bit down on to take a picture of her teeth. Just as soon as she got the camera positioned where it needed to be, Rylee jumped off and said she wasnt going to have any pictures taken of her teeth. She wanted Dr. Gailey in there to do this. And we kept telling her that he coulnt come in until she has pictures taken and her teeth cleaned. She kept screaming and running away. We held her down long enough for the assistant to actually polish her teeth. This was actually something to be very proud of, since she was the first to ever do that for Rylee! We had to hold her down so that Dr. Gailey could get his mirror in her mouth and see what was going on in her mouth and he found them. He was excited that her teeth werent as bad as he thought. He thought he was going to have to pull them but they can be saved, yay! He gave us a referal to a friend of his, Dr. Quackenbush. sp? We are excited for this because our sister in law takes her kids to him. He can knock the kids out without having to use an IV which I loved hearing this. I really would try to do it without using an iv on her. But kudos to Dr. Gailey and his office! You guys are great sports!!!

Changing Teachers

This year Rylee was put in a normal ed class. Well as the first couple of weeks of school started, her teacher realized that there was something up with Rylee. I had a feeling we were going to have this problem. She was wandering around the classroom and laying on the floor and just not doing so well. We were wanting her to be in the intergrated kindergarten program because of this problem. So this past weekend I get this phone call from the "IK" teacher and says that she is getting Rylee moved into her class where she needed to be in the first place and that she was going to get her occupational therapy! And even the OT does not go through she will work with her and of course we will work with her at home. Rylee has to develope muscles in her arms and hands that are underdeveloped. It was such a blessing to hear from Ms. Hatmann!! I was worrying this whole time about Rylee's behavior and we get to have an IEP meeting to hopefully put these behaviors on her IEP. Oh my gosh what an answer to prayers!! Its going to be sad to have Rylee leave her friends and go to a new classroom but it will be for her benefit!! yay!! I talked to the teacher and it sounds like its going to go through soon woohoo!
