[/caption]Ellie continues to be for the most part nonverbal and sleepy. We discovered yesterday that her sodium is low which puts her at an increased risk for seizures. The great thing is there are measures we can take to help her body increase its sodium (decrease the water we give her).
A big shout out to all of you who have participated in the Parade of Love this week--Brittany (twice and with a Pooh Bear to boot!), Molly Pettit, Kendra Latko, Kristin, Peter (with his full body, contagious laugh), Dr. Puccetti, Cynthia (also twice!) and a lots of girltalk visit with Esther yesterday. (e-mail me if you would like to participate in the parade of love at debibetsi@yahoo.com) We have felt the love around here!
Here is a beautiful Ellie lesson written by Ellie's cross categorical (special ed) teacher this year. I regret that we have not had the pleasure of getting to know Ms. Corsi better as Ellie has not been in school that often this school year.
When I think of Ellie, are her hats and favorite colors. Before she greets you with
her pleasant personality and creative words, Ellie greets you with her style. I love those big pink furry ones the best. They look a little bit fancy and comfy at the same time. And you can't help but smile when you see Ellie approaching. Ellie's hard work during this school year reminded me that we all have potential to try new things and grow--no matter what the struggle. Ellie was making progress in her reading and math skills. She is a trooper and amazingly talented at letting you know what she wanted. She also brings out the best in her classmates, who were always willing to give her a hand. I am so lucky to have Ellie as a student this year. I miss her hats and her casual approval when I used one of her words. Here's to feeling jilled today! Love you little one, Ms.Corsi
