The roots of my son's tooth were half-gone from infection. The tooth had to be pulled. An impression was taken so a spacer can be placed in a couple of weeks. He'll stay on the penicillin for another week. He's still bleeding a touch and a wee bit loopy so we're keeping him home the remainder of the day.
While we were at the dentist those couple of hours I got a phone call from Dr. so-and-so, the behavioral specialist at the elementary school, asking us to pick up my 5 year old daughter as they had just suspended her for the remainder of the day. My stomach fell but unfortunately I wasn't surprised. She understood we not only could not pick her up immediately, but we couldn't even pick her up at Kindergarten release time, and a friend of ours was picking her up along with her son (DD's classmate and long-time friend).
I am so upset with her I can't even express it. She has had so many incidents at school already and it's only the 7th week. We have to have a meeting with the behavior specialist dr and the principal. No argument there. She's is obviously drowning. I'm posting this to cool off a little then I'm calling her psychiatrist to get a copy of her records for the school meeting.
DD just got home and I haven't spoken to her yet. Sterling has her in her room. I need to face the music and go have a chat with the child. How to get a 5 year old who is wired a little differently to understand what the heck she is doing???
Feels like I'm drowning with all this but hopefully after this meeting she can get some better help.
