You know you haven't blogged in awhile when...

...you have no idea where to start to catch everyone up!! Boy oh boy. Last week was quite the week. Long, long story very, very short, we decided to pull Gabe out of Livingston Christian School last Thursday. It didn't work out. I would have loved for it to work out, but it was evident after last week that this was not the school for Gabe. And add on to that that the principal basically asked that he not come back. After talking with all the special ed people in our school district, we found out that there is no way the state would provide a full time aid for Gabe in a private school. So that kindof ruled out any private school, so we are left with public. But let me say that in all the conversations I have had with the public school in the last few days I have been so impressed. As opposed to LCS, they say things like, "We want to do everything we can to make school successful for your son." It is so sad to me that this scenario is not switched around. So I am waiting to hear from the principal of the local elementary to set up a meeting with her. And I am waiting to hear from Gabe's Dr. to see if she will allow Gabe to go to public...the concern up to this point has been how sick he gets when he is around large groups of kids. If all goes as it seems it should at this point, we will have Gabe enrolled sometime this week. We COVET your prayers for us. We really need God's wisdom on this one. Ultimately we want what is best for Gabe. Cool side note...his gym teacher at the public school would be this lady who goes to our church and knows him really well. How cool would that be? Anyhoo...we will keep you posted!!!

Amy I am so sorry that the private school wasn't more open to Gabe's needs. A neighbor here in California had a very similar problem with her son in private school and had to take him out and send him to public school so he could get the help he needs. It is sad that your money isn't going to better things at a private school. I will continue to pray for you guys to be guided in the right path.

P.S you were close but it is Nyland until May 21st
