The Grimms Five

Well, tomorrow is the first day of school for Keith and Sarah! Keith is moving upstairs to the 3rd grade. I met with his teacher and the principal about setting up a 504 plan for Keith. They are going to put bright colored tape on the steps so that Keith can see them better. He also will be getting placed on the right side of the classroom so that he can see the room better. I am feeling that this is going to be a good year. He has a teacher who is very involved and I am hoping that Keith will cope and start to love learning. Sarah had her Kindergarten orientation today. It was great, she had a fun time seeing her room and playing with her classmates. She was Miss chatterbox on the ride home!
Both kids have started soccer for this year. Sarah begged me to be her coach and of course I agreed. So the only night we do not have practice is on Fridays. On Keith's first practice he got hit in his bad eye with a soccer ball. We took him in to see the retinal specialist on Wednesday and had him checked out. The Dr. said that the good news was that he could finally see the back of Keith's retina, the bad new though was that he could see more bleeders so he would be having laser and maybe cryo when we go back to Boston in November.....Hopefully we can get these bleeders to stop and get some vision back. I know that is a long shot but I will take anything I can get. I will see if I can post some pics later.I just wanted to try and get some new info out to as many people as I can! God Bless you all!!!
