a peek at Trevy's school week

Mondays

No official School. Instead...Jonathan drops Trevy off at Grams' house on his way to work.  Grams is in the process of equipping her finished basement into a School Room.  Grams is super creative and is doing a wonderful job!  She also happens to have a humongous backyard for PT time during the cooler months.  And a pool to splash in during the warmer weather!  Also...it doesn't hurt that Pop Pop (Trevy's current main squeeze) happens to live there too!  Our family is extraordinarily blessed to have local grandparents who are so involved...not just with Trevy but with all of our children.  


Tuesdays & Thursdays

7:45 - 9:45am ABA Therapy (during each session the last 30 minutes are spent in class during Circle Time)

9:45 - 10:00am Integrated (meaning 50% typically developing peer models and 50% students with special needs) Classroom time.  

10:00 - 10:30am Speech Therapy 

10:30 - 11:30am Integrated Classroom time 
Wednesdays

7:45 - 9:45am ABA Therapy

9:45 - 10:00am Integrated Classroom time 

10:00 - 10:30am Speech Therapy 

10:30 - 11:00am Occupational Therapy 

11:00 - 11:30am Integrated Classroom


Fridays

7:45 - 9:45am ABA Therapy

9:45 - 10:00am Integrated Classroom time 

10:00 - 10:30am Speech Therapy 

10:30 - 11:00am Physical Therapy 

11:00 - 11:30am Integrated Classroom


All that working and learning is followed by Trevy crashing daily from noon to 3pm!!!!  Sure it crunches the day.  But I don't really mind.  His little body is still healing.  And his little (can't believe he only has half!!!) brain is thriving!

Merely out of curiousity, what does one do in 15 minutes of classroom time? Is it more of a lesson in sitting still, or self discipline?

Elaine...I LOVE the long naps! Although...the past week we've been trending towards 2pm. :(

Mrs. M...and do I ever love me my break!

Anonymous...His 1:1 ABA session ends around 9:15ish. So from 7:45 - 9:15 he's 1:1 and then his ABA therapist joins him in his class Circle Time. Although the Trevy reality is...15 minutes sounds short but that's about his max of one activity at a time. Last year he was going for "walks in the hall" multiple times a day. Now that his day is more structured with pull outs...he is able to attend MUCH better during the classroom times!

Sounds very busy! Henry has now mostly dropped his nap which is an adjustment for me ;) but stops the early morning waking we had for a while.
He's nowhere near as busy though so maybe it'll come back one day?!

That's a very nice spread! Not saying this won't last but of course it will change - meantime, savor it. Barbara

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...
