Maria had an eye exam this week. Her vision has changed a little bit, enough that he gave us a new prescription for glasses but not enough that he thought it was actually worth filling. Then Maria knocked her glasses off while we were on a walk and they went right under the wheels of the stroller. Nice timing. So she’s going to get new glasses this weekend.
We haven’t started using the Tech/Talk yet. We got the hours approved for training and the speech therapist is trying to find time. The weeks are passing quickly though and it’s looking like she may not be able to use it in school this year since the last day of school is just three weeks away.
We finally got a new coordinator at DDD since we didn’t like the last one. The new one seems OK, maybe a little ditzy and stubborn. She actually argued with Cathy over how to get to her house, saying that Mapquest was giving her different directions than Cathy was. She didn’t seem to think Cathy knew how to drive to her own house! She came by for Maria’s quarterly review and has long blonde hair that Maria yearned to pull, but we kept her away.
This might be the last blog entry. Cathy’s been sick the last couple of days and we figure it’s probably the pig flu (as Manolis calls it) so we’re all going to die now. After all, it’s not like the media would ever massively overreact to a situation. Maybe we should put on our masks – you know the ones with pores a hundred times larger than a flu virus. Or should we get out the plastic and duct tape?
On the outside chance we don’t all die of pig flu it should be a quiet week. The only big thing coming up is Maria’s grandparents are coming out for next weekend.
