First of all thanks so much to everyone who has commented on my post about Daisy and the problems that we have faced with school.  I know I replied to some of the comments in the comments on that post, but I wanted to say thanks for all the support from everyone, and that my heart goes out to anyone that may have experienced this kind of thing - either for themselves or their own children. It really is heartbreaking, but knowing that I have support from everyone here makes a difference. Thanks All.

 I just wanted to do a quick update to let you all know what is happening, as a couple of people that read my blog have asked how things are going.

Step 1 of many happened this afternoon. I had a meeting with Daisy’s class teacher and the school counsellor. I thought that it would be about half an hour. Guess again. It was an hour and a half. I don’t think as a parent, in fact I know for sure, that I have ever had that length of time to discuss anything with any of the teachers that either of my kids have had. WOW.

To be honest I lost track of time, but I knew that it was more than half an hour. So the three of us have discussed lots of things to do at home and at school and lots of follow up too.

I also have an appointment for Saturday afternoon for Daisy to see a Speech Pathologist. This is because she has been regressing with her speech and has gone back to speaking with a lisp. She had some speech therapy 2 years ago and at the end of about 6 months seemed to be on top of it all.

I also have an appointment with another psychologist on Wednesday afternoon to discuss in more detail what we need to do and what the next steps will be. I have also spoken to her about some other concerns that I have and I will see what she says about them. Thats a bit cryptic I know, but its a hunch of mine and I promise I will reveal all later.

 So, thanks everyone for all your wonderful comments, and for the messages and support in the meantime. Daisy seems much happier the last few days with some minor changes so I will possibly start to document what we are doing so that we can track what works and what doesn’t.

 I will keep you all posted on what’s happening. Oh, and she smiled at me today - “that” smile, the one that I have been missing. And when I went to pick her up from gymnastics, she ran towards me and I picked her up, and almost threw her in the air.  That’s my girl.

My Daisy will be home soon, I can feel it in my bones.
