When you first send your child to school it's pretty scary. It's really really scary when your child is considered special needs whether it's because of a learning disability or a medical issue. But I am happy to tell you that if you have the right team advocating for your child it is okay to be scared, and that things will be okay.
Today we had our first appointment with Dr. B. since Ana started school. Before we even got into the exam room Dr. B was telling us how she has done so much training with many of the staff at her school. She said the principal was behind it 100%, encouraging staff and teachers to go and get trained. She herself even did what she was asking her team to do. To say I am overwhelmed with gratefulness is an understatement.
I knew a few weeks ago that Ana's teacher went for training, but I had NO idea how many people were involved. Dr. B also told us how loved Ana is at school and that we are very respected as parents for being open with communication and always being on hand to field any questions. I have no words for this at all. I was pretty freaked out sending her to school, but everything worked out.
As for her A1C (which is tested every 3 months), well we are at a 6.5 which is FABULOUS!!! But now it's not just myself, Alex, Aunt Jenn, Grammy and Grampy who can share in celebrating us being at a great number, but the nurse and TA at school as well. So I made sure that I thanked them, because without that team, I don't think it would be that great.
