going back to public school

Hi everyone! I'm finally back in my house and have internet! woohoo

I see a lot of new faces. For those that don't know me I'm Samantha. I have a 7th grade son with Autism and a 4th grade daughter with Anxiety/selective mutism. -been coming here forever ;) We had a new basement put under our house this summer. We've been living in our camper for the last 5 weeks. The kids handled it amazingly well.

I have so much to tell you guys but I'll start with the biggest right now. Hannah asked to go back to public school. I was shocked, so proud of her, and terrified. For those who don't know the background we pulled her from school in october last yr becasue an aide got rough with her and left bruises and broken skin. Joe and I go in today to talk to the director of special education, the superintendent, school psycholigist, and who know who else about getting her back into school. We hired a lawer to help us facilitate her return without retaliation. I'm a wreck but trying like the dickens not to show Hannah because she is excited about going back, bless her heart. So please send me lots and lots of prayer this goes well. I need to go get ready now.
