Counting down...

Well, Amanda's still doing great. She has been on the reduced dosage of medication since Friday and not even a blip, so we are extremely thankful.

Yesterday, we had her IEP meeting at the school. This is where we determine what special accommodations she will need in the upcoming year. She has had an IEP every year since she entered the school system and at times has had physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, special assignments, preferential seating, daily pullouts, daily organizational assistance, extra time given for tests and assignments, and more.

This past year, she's only had occasional time of out of the classroom and taken tests in a quiet room instead of the main room. She's managed to maintain honor roll grades all year this year. We are all very excited for her.

However, the best part of yesterday was when her special ed teacher told all of us that she is, "On track for a four year college, independent living and self-selected community involvement." Hearing that she will be able to maintain the level of independence that she desires was just like grace raining down on us. What a huge blessing.

Anyway, I will continue to keep you posted about what's happening as we prepare for our stay in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) this weekend. We now are at 2 days till our stay and praying for a quiet time before she enters and a quick stay while we are there.

Thanks for keeping us in your prayers!
