Danielle has received a preliminary diagnosis of JRA. She has also seen an eye doctor, who diagnosed her with uveitis. She needs eye drops every four hours, and her mobility is slightly impaired.
I thank God that he's lead us down this path, because we have the ability to meet her needs, give her meds, and miss school for doctor appointments without an IEP or a doctor's note or any other red tape.
How much school is she doing, anyway? Well... she's showing those pre-reading skills- pretending to read, recognizing letters, learning sight words. How exciting!

You're right! It will be such a blessing to be able to have complete control over Danielle's treatment from giving meds to making appointments. Thank goodness you now know what you're dealing with and can start treating it.
It sounds like it is going to be pretty painless to teach her how to read :). When our girls were ready, some at a younger age than others, they practically taught themselves :)!

Exactly! Rachel's preschool teacher asked me "what I used" to teach her. Umm... gee. We read to her? ;)
