I'm acting sped teacher

Sadly, the special ed teacher is on leave to be with her 25 year old son who has CF and has been struggling and hospitalized all summer who in her words " in the absence of a miracle this weekend, isn't expected to make it."

The other special ed teacher is also on leave being a 24/7 care giver to her mother who is recovering slowly from cancer treatments all summer in Boston.

So, the department is mine for a few weeks under very sad circumstances.

Any good thoughts or prayers for my struggling co-workers would be appreciated.

  • Sending good thoughts, such unfortunate circumstances. Best of luck to you running the department in their absence.
  • Oh how sad for both families...my thoughts & prayers are with them.

  • Your coworkers are in my thoughts.  How terrible.  I'm glad you get to be the acting sped teacher, although I know you'd prefer it to be happening under very different circumstances. 
  • Both things are dreadful, and my prayers go out to those families.  Best of luck to you, though!

  • I think I know the son who was suffering from CF, a friend of mine from high school married his older brother last year.  So sorry to hear about this :(

    no I hadn't. I am not on FB with anyone involved, and nothing has come through school yet.

    That's terrible, I can't imagine the family's sadness right now. I hadn't met either boy, but she told me lots of stories about them and was very proud of both of them.

  • It's just heartbreaking, he was such an amazing person. I'm glad that the family was all able to be there with him.  And I know how much his mother must appreciate all the hard work you'll be doing at the school while going through this.
