April 6th - I'm dusting off my advocate hat. I'm going to need it tomorrow afternoon. The school that Angela and I love is not communicating with us. I don't know what is being done if anything. This is the hardest part of having a child with special needs. She has had such great services until this year. Next year, her sister will not be there to help her and I'm scared that she is going to get lost w/o the services that she is entitled to. She was supposed to get more services, but she just got lost in the system. I have to go fight for her tomorrow, so I better start dusting.
