Well, my daughter was on Hospital Homebound half of the previous school year. This year we decided to send her to a charter school with a smaller student population. We thought going to a school with 3,000 students would be overwhelming.
The first week of school:
Monday Orthopedist
Tuesday Wound Care Specialist
Weds - Finally a Break
Thurs - A whole day in the hospital for a bone scan and MRI
Friday - Got Results of test via fax but have no idea what they mean.
She doesn't have a whole lot of friends since last year she missed half the year so she has become very shy and reserved. I don't think she evens knows how to act in a social situation. She was a competitive cheerleader for many years until her medical problems. Most of her friends are usually from cheer.
She probably won't ever get to do competitive cheer again. But school cheer she can probably do. She says she may not even want to do that. We keep telling her she has to do something and she says like what or I don't want to do that.
When she isn't doing homework or at a Dr. She sits in her room or watches reality tv. This was once a girl who barely watched TV and was always at a cheer class or practice. I feel like I have lost the girl she once was.
She has made a few friends at school but they all do cross country and she has pain just walking. She missed school Thursday so she feels like they don't include her anymore and they have forgotten about her.
So, we started on a bit of a high and ended on a low. At least my son has a great week.
I know I shouldn't be so involved in her social life but I worry about her so much. I just want her to be a normal high school student.
