Thursday

Today Tom and I have an intake meeting at Children's Center of Monmouth County, in Neptune. Jim is having a tooth extracted next Monday. Of course he has other cavities, one in a permanent tooth, and his permanent teeth need sealants...to the tune of $1700. We'll do the extraction and permanent teeth, and forego the other 4 or 5 cavities for now...

Later: the meeting at the school went well. Tom got upset at the end, because when he spent a little time with one of the teachers doing some worksheets to assess his academic status, the work was "too easy" for him.
