friday
not so good today . . . my aunt called and told me that her cbc (complete blood count) was abnormal, with at least two out of three cell lines not normal . . . this news should be taken in the context of my mom passing away six years ago from leukemia, and my aunt’s cbc doesn’t smell good . . . but i don’t know what is high, and what is low . . . if all three lines are low, it still could be leukemia, or aplastic anemia . . . trying not to think about it, but she gets a bone marrow biopsy on sunday, which should give a diagnosis, especially after flow cytometry, if things are headed in that direction.
also, my daughter’s special ed teacher, who is great, announced in a letter today that she is going out on medical leave (maternity), and hasn’t found a replacement. hopefully, this won’t affect the custody hearing in a couple of weeks.
so things are a bit tense right now, but trying to work them out.

I find it surprising that you mention that your daughter’s teacher is a special ed teacher.
I have a class that is 1/2 sped ed and 1/2 gen. Some of the sped ed kids are my best students. It all depends on the problem (of course) but I don’t want the kids to know who is sped ed and who isn’t.
I hope that your aunt is okay and doesn’t have anything to worry about, and I hope the custody hearing goes well.

my daughter has special needs, but hopefully with some work, she may be moving to a mainstream class in kindergarten or 1st grade. i’ll know more about my aunt next week. thanks for visiting.
