<---tells A3 that Greyor is my 3 mo old grandson with health issues
<---explains that he is in the hospital, but may come home today
<---has to go to a stupid meeting about where we've come from and where we're going
<---wishes administration would just let me do my job
 
<--- waves to all from her desk
<--- will leave <--- speak to let y'all know about the evaluation:

The doctor was wonderful and she sat with us for a long time and talked about everything from family history to whether Sophie goes to lots of birthday parties (it's relevant, believe me:p). She asked tons and tons of questions and did a physical exam as well. So, yes, the results are the Sophie DOES have ADD, but not the "H" piece (hyperactivity). I guess I kind of knew that, but hearing it come out of the doctor's mouth hit me like a truck. We took away some more forms to complete and some for the teacher as well, and we have to go back in mid-March, after Sophie gets her next report card. We now have lots and lots of decisions to make and research to do and systems to put in place to help get Sophie on the right track. One bright spot is that, because Sophie is actually doing well in school already, even with all her mental roadblocks, if we can get her to focus and pay attention and be more organized, it's possible they will move her to the gifted class. The piece that hit me hardest was that ADD kids have a hard time socializing with their peers, and this is very true of Sophie. She has few friends, doesn't get invited many places, etc. I grew up being the outcast because my family traveled so much, so I know what that feels like, and if I can make that better for her, I'll do anything in my power to make it happen. Anyway, I have a lot of decisions to make and it's overwhelming.

<--- thanks everyone for listening and being patient with such a long explanation
<--- is going to crawl back into the HH now
 
<--Hopes Mr. Greyor does come home today and sends a great big hug his way and robins way(3 mnths old,How sweet they are)!

<--waves HI to everyone
<--is going to break from <-- for a minute
Shelley, my 14 year old son is gifted and has and still does struggle with peer relationships. Until I had his sister I ran a daycare in my home, so that he would be forced to interact with other children. I had friends over, etc. throughout his childhood, but then we moved to Florida when he was in 5th grade and he used it as an excuse to completely pull away from any peers. I should have followed through by seeking doctors' help, but also thought it would get better after his "new kid" status wore off. He doesn't have ADD, but I think that it is common for gifted children who excel academically to struggle socially. Anyway, fast forward to my son's physical on Monday and me fighting back tears explaining to the doc that DS will be in college in 3 1/2 years and he can't/won't make friends! Sophie is so fortunate to have you taking a proactive approach to this. I am sure that it will make a huge difference! You are a caring, attentive, selfless mom who just needs to follow her gut!
<--apologizes for the book and will BB after <-- gets a snack :p
