Hello all I hope this post finds you all well. Nate is still having alot of lows but we are slowing decreasing his insulin levels and they seem to be getting some better. Tomorrow I will start home schooling nate through his school. It's called home bound and he will go back to school in Jan after the holidays. i'm doing this for many reasons. 1 he is so stressed out. 2 it seems the school doesnt want to comply and work with him on his new needs. and 3 for my peace of mind. I feel right now his health should come before anything else and I can better watch him here at home than the school can. Some of my family members don't agree with me doing this, they say that we can't let his illness control his life and that he needs the social aspect of it all. But I say that his health is #1 being around other kids can wait. And its not like there arent kids always around here anyways. Well I just wanted to update you guys and vent a lil there I guess. So if you don't hear from me you know why. :) oh and I am babysitting my 2 yr old neice as well, been doing that for a few weeks now to help the family out so thats why I've been kinda lurking. love you guys and talk to ya soon! Please keep us all in your prayers.

2 years ago Gerry had such bad allergies (allergic to mold- and due to hurricanes and water - Mold was ALL over the classrooms). We had to put him on homebound and last year I homeschooled him. He is back in school this year and doing well!
Sometimes we have to do what is best for our children!
I kept Gerry involved with the Youth at church. So he kept up with his friends in the community and played in the neighborhood with kids that he went to school with. This will help with the socialization.. besides ya know January is only 2 months away!
So enjoy the holidays, Nate will work hard and stay caught up - and life will be back to normal!!
This is also a good time for you to bond even more and understand so much more about Nate and how he learns!
I am praying for you!! ENJOY this time!! I know I did!! It was fun for me and helped me stay involved with Gerry and learn so much more about him, his biopolar and ADHD!!
YOU WILL BE SO BLESSED for this!!!

Thank you so much for the pep talk Julie. I was feeling the exact same way about bonding with him and having time for him to better understand his body now.

I'm so glad you are back home and feeling better. As soon as I read you were sick I started praying. I know the Lord had his hands on you. I love you sweetie and if theres anything I can do for you just let me know.

Thank you so much Vickie! I think he will do lots better than he would at school. He just feels like a burden there now because he has to "disrupt" class to check his sugar and then "disrupt" another class just to talk to the nurse. I think he will be better off here till things get under control. Love you doll and you have a wonderful day!

PS
Your day is almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
