We have decided to have Hayley formally tested for learning disabilities. 

I was contacted yesterday by a nearby university that will do the testing for about a quarter of the cost of a private clinic. 

At first I wasn't in favor of testing.  I don't need a name or a label to know that something isn't running smoothly in her brain when it comes to reading and spelling.  But the more I work with her over the summer the more I realize that I do need more specific direction in how to teach her.

The clinic is supposed to call back late next week to set up an appointment(s) for testing. 

As for her ear surgery, she is doing fine.  She asked for tylenol before bed her ear was bothering her a little.  She didn't complain all day, in fact, was just as energetic as usual.  What a bundle of energy.  I wish I had as much!

Thanks for leaving me a comment on my blog..I have read a little bit on your blog and have to commend you on your love for your children. Your desire to do what is best for them is obvious - I hope you can find some helpful answers through the testing.
