School and sickness

Poogie is still sick. After another night of vomiting, dry heaves and muscle spasms we went to the doctor. Tested her for H1M1 and strep, negative. The doctor thinks it may just be a stomach bug. But she said that if it goes into next week we need to come back to test for other things including Salmonella. Ug. She did give her some meds for the cramps and pain. It seems to be working thank goodness. She has had a horrible few days. She is not much of a crier or whiner but she has really broken down with this pain.

As far as school goes, Poogie isn't doing any. T is back to his regular pace. We have added some new subjects and made some changes. First, he was moving through Easy Grammar Plus so fast I decided to add something more challenging. I purchased a used set of Rod and Staff English for him. I love R & S, him not so much. But it is challenging and I know he needs more challenge. I also purchased Word Wise 3000 for him. We were working on vocabulary with his reading but I felt he needed more.

We are also working through all the Key to... Percentages, Fractions and Decimals in a certain order to hopefully get the most from the series. After hitting a wall in a few chapters of Teaching Textbooks I decided to step back and make sure he has a real grasp of the material before moving on.

After 3 nights of almost no sleep I need to rest while Poogie is finally resting, so bye till later.
