He puts on his military voice and says things like, "that is completely unacceptable," which sounds very scary when he says it.<br /><br />Anyway, you know, ear infection might be what triggered the seizure.

I know...Oh my I've been thinking about this lately. I know what happens to at least some of the kids who's parents don't advocate. We are at the point where I am seeing it. They stop getting services in school that they still need. They don't go to school regularly in high school because their parents don't care any more. The parents stop meeting the teachers or attending the meetings and one of them just came up to me two days ago to tell me how surprised they were when he turned 18 and they NEVER knew about the guardianship issues. This a parent I always tried to get to come to parent meetings or seminars on these very issues. Honestly, we held meetings at different times, emailed information and handed out handouts. Many parents don't educate themselves. I guess maybe its easier for some to stay in denial, perhaps they are scared? But you have to advocate all the way and I am far enough along to see kids with involved parents do better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-44105408023050607422009-05-14T09:03:00.000-04:002009-05-14T09:03:00.000-04:00You are doing your job as his mom.
