What an exciting day it was.  First and most important thing today was a meeting with my sons teachers to work on his IEP for next year.  We compared the differences of him being on and off his medicine.  Amazingly enough his grades are better, he is much more social, interacting more, and participating more in class.  Only negative thing, he is talking and joking with the other kids a little more.  How bad is that...not bad at all, it made me smile.  He is doing so well that next year he will be 100% mainstreamed. There are still a few things we need to work on so the resource teacher will work with him in the regular classroom with his class; he won't be taken out of his classes. It was the best meeting we ever had since his diagnosis.  I am so proud of our son for all the obstacles he's overcome.

Right after the meeting at school I rushed to get to work.  It was 11:00 by the time I got in.  I had to workout at 1230 so I had just about enough time to get in get a few things done, eat, and change for my workout.  Than, right after my workout I had to clean up, change, and get to the chiropractor  by 130...it was a crazy day but it was great.

I was pretty excited about thing talked about during my training session.  We are going to be working on form, for one thing, on burpees.  The first time I ever saw or heard of a burpee, I almost died.  I couldn't even do one burpees.  I just could get myself down to the ground.  After a couple of years I can finally do them now it's time to perfect them.  I really learned a lot about what I was doing incorrectly and it made me more aware of what I need to do and why I need to do it.  The we talked about doing some heavy lifting...oh how I've missed that!  That was the second best thing I heard today.  I have some work to do on that as well; it's been a while since I've done that.  I feel so great about all this.  I feel like  I have a plan...prayers answered once again; Praise God!

Another awesome thing...I am going on my 8th day of no back pain...YAY!  I may get a bit of stiffness or a twinge every now and then but its been minimal.  The chiropractor I am seeing has made a difference.  He turned out to be a pretty good addition to my rehabilitation.  There is still tingling in my leg; it sits around my knee area then will travel up or down depending on what I am doing.  It always gets better, it just hasn't completely gone away. I am so hopeful that it will be gone one day; until then, I will just keep moving forward with a smile on my face J
