Logistics
Mom has been with Isaac since the beginning. She is burning through her vacation time, at the present. She has already set up her FMLA (family medical leave act) to retain her job in the long term. In an effort to minimize the impact, I have set up to be off next week so she can get back to work.
I will use a week of my vacation, or hopefully I can use "hardship leave" (they still have to approve) to save my vacation time. This way we can "tag team" weeks with Isaac so that we don't get too burned out sitting. We can try to minimize the impact to our vacation this way.
My HR said I can receive donations of personal days to be used, but I believe I have to exhaust all my other accrued time prior to having that eligibility.
I also hope we can schedule others to sit one or two nights a week to try and lessen the impact of us being away from the other two.
School and Learning
Isaac is starting to recognize words and phrases consciously. As this gets better, we will want to get him back to working on school work. To this end, we have found that the OCH facility needs us to withdraw him from LISD and register him with the hospital program. This will negate his absences, reduce the load on the middle school, and allow the hospital to assist him in ramping up his schoolwork as he gets better.
The hospital program will be able to assess him for any adaptations, and work with LISD to provide them once he returns to school.
