After observing the class yesterday morning, I decided to enroll Raquel. She'll be going 5 days per week, from 8am - 11am. She will be the fourth girl and there are two boys, all with ranging abililty levels. The student/teacher ratio is 3:1. The teacher seems great, and was really excited to hear that Raquel is already using the PECS Program, as this is something she is implementing with the class.
I'm hopeful that I've made the right decision, but other options are still available to me if this wasn't the best choice, and a review meeting is already planned for the first of March.
Monday, Raquel has her blood work done at Rady Children's Hospital - yes, I went to the pediatrician to do this yesterday, but let's just say that didn't go so well and it needs to be handled at Children's instead of the hospital next door to her pediatrician...
I was also unable to get anything done except for a referral to the allergist, which was really a bummer because the school will be feeding her breakfast and needs confirmation that she is required to be on the GFCF Diet in order for them to substitute the food. They don't want me bringing my own stuff because they want all of the kids to eat the same thing, which I can completely understand. Raquel sees the allergist on March 5th. From what I have been told, it's a pretty extensive test with a really fantastic doctor, and I will know all of her food sensitivites when we leave his office. The appointment will take between 2 - 2 1/2 hours. Until then, I'll feed Raqi breakfast - she always eats before 8:30am anyway - and I'll put similar looking food items in her backback in order to fake the other kids out. I'm really good at that these days. Raquel never questions that she's eating something different than we are!
