Sorry I haven’t written sooner – it was due in part to needing to process my thoughts and in part because we’ve had company. My Dad and Stepmom are here for their biannual visit. It’s nice to be distracted at a time like this.
The test results were and were not a surprise. Basically, J2 is about 2 years behind his age – both academically and psychologically. That was not a surprise. However, hearing it confirmed was still hard. Their recommendation is that he be enrolled in a special day class in the public school system. I really think that would be a bad idea for him. But I’m not sure I have my husband’s support (edited to clarify – I mean–I think we aren’t on the same page about J2’s education.).
Through the help of the Christian Home Educator’s email list – I found out about a private school in the Bay Area that gives support and curriculum consultation services to parents of special needs kids who want to keep them at home. I’ve applied for their waiting list, but I have not heard from them yet.
I’m glossing over lots of details…lots of pain….maybe I’ll talk about it more later. Right now I just need to keep praying and letting the Lord speak to my heart. I covet your continued prayers!
