As many of you already know I suffer from migraines. They can get pretty intense. Needless to say, when Em's tourette's acts up, I need to find a quiet place away from the noise. Thankfully the past 2 days and nights have been migraine free because Em's tourette's has been a little more "active" for the past day or so. I wish I could figure out what triggers it. Stress can be a factor but not always. I do notice that when she is really concentrating on something such as putting together a 1500 piece puzzle she doesn't have any symptoms. Hmm.
Today Em told me that she really, really, REALLY wants to be in ALPHA next year when she goes to Holmes. She has all of these fantastic ideas for what her end of the year presentation will be if she gets in. Usually a teacher has to suggest you for the ALPHA program. I believe that Em has the intelligence and the talent to be in ALPHA. I just have to convince the programs director that she does. She has overcome a lot in her almost 12 years to be the person that she is. It took switching her to her current school in 3rd grade for her to realize that not all kids are cruel and mean and will taunt you because of something that you have no control over. I thank God for the teachers that she has had at Lincoln for helping Em to realize her full potential. She is one smart cookie!! I am proud of her. :)
