Helen Hunt Jackson- September Poem

The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down;

The gentian’s bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun;

The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook;

From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes’ sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies–

By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.

dyk the meeting went well

dyk we both could tell that a conversation had taken place BEFORE we got there, lol

dyk as I thought it might --

dyk we reviewed our concerns, hit the highlights, the district nursing supervisor was in her words "in love" with our reference card and reporting form

dyk and it was made known that this was the last sit down conversatoinal meeting we would be having on these or any other issues regarding Alisha's care

dyk my Jen-friend talked a bit more to the principal and I had a conversation with the nurse.. that went something liket his..... I know that you may be at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to Alisha b/c you have experience with diabetes but none of the usual applies to Alisha, so you are not, as a person with no experience might be.... too scared to do anything other than exactly what was on the card. (She smield at this point but it didn't last long)

dyk then I said, Be scared. And do not deviate from this. Not once, not ever.

dyk her smile became a little less "smiley." LOL

dyl regarding the heart murmur - Abigail is not anemic, no medications she takes have cardiac effects (though not to say they couldn't still be the cause, but both docs reviewed the list and none are known for or associated with "usually") and her blood pressure is great.

dyk I am thinking infection or it will go completely unexplained. LOL

dyk Abi is an extremist.

dyk and we are going (on the nursing supervisor's request) get the endicronologist's signature on the quick reference card that that is the prescribed current protocol.

dyk and when Jen said that the endicronologist has approved us (the parents and me in an emergency situation) to make adjustments to her care, the nursing supervisor asked if she could get that in writing

dyk Jen said it is in writing -- and you have a copy.

dyk LOL my Jen-friend has provided them EVERYTHING and so that was her opening to tell the nursing supervisor this is meeting #3 to go over basically the SAME PROTOCOLS and this reporting form and UPDATED reference card (supervisor raised an eyebrow like... oh, the nurse already HAS this info?) are the only new or updated things we are introducing.

dyk my Jen friend made my sit by the nurse, haha

dyk no news from the school yet on getting Abi on the bus

dyk so we pick her up again today.... I am going to go through the line

dyk we are going to arrive at the school at 3:40 and see where the puts up --

dyk they run it pretty well with 4 pick up "stations" along the circle drive -- and Abi's teacher calls the kids out ahead of time and sends them 1-2-3-4 and then the next 4 cars pull in and loda up and she's calling the next 1-2-3-4 etc

dyk with that sale money he's fixing the rest of the white truck he's driving, and buying a scooter (he's wanted this one type of scooter for YEARS)

dyk and then the white truck goes up for sale

dyl then with the sale of the white truck -- he's replenishing the savings and buying a more gas efficient vehicle -- it must seat 5

dyk I hope he does't get himself into trouble --- b/c if he sells the white truck before he has a line on a new vehicle.... I don't know how he's getting the kids to school in the morning... HAHA
