Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Thank you so much Irma for your kind reply! There was a time when we would not have even considered taking jesse to a theme park - as one visit to Six Flags was a MAJOR anxiety fit that lasted for over an hour! My sister had to come pick him up & take him home with her so we could continue our day. So he has come a long ways! And yeah, to see him interact with the characters instead of lunging away from them in a panic ( again, previous behavior,) it was pure joy for me! I have THE cutest pic of him w/ Mickey Mouse! There was only one time he had an anxiety fit in the entire 5 days there. We were at the Living Seas exhibit - it is the worlds largest aquarium basically. loves watching fish in aquariums, no matter where we are! And he was loving this walking around looking thru these huge windows into the fishes domain. We were checking out these really cool stingrays when out of no where this diver in a wet suit & tank appears. freaked! Threw himself to the floor, backing away, & screaming! It was awful! I was trying to calm him & I was yelling for his dad, who was farther down the room, who jumped a rail & came running! We must have been quite a site! It only lasted maybe a minute or two , but it seemed like slow motion & an eternity! I could have used a stiff drink after that! I guess he didn't really know what that diver was, I don't know what went thru his mind. Otherwise, I was even impressed with how well he did with it all! Would love to go back sometime! regarding the hiccups, I give a dose of Mylanta & that often helps. I didn't know that about the coke either, but would not be a good nite time choice due to caffeine. I hope you & that other mom from church make contact again, sounds like ya'll have alot to talk about! take care, DeDee & 12 yr soon to be 13!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Your Welcome DeeDee, I can so relate on your previous days. I've purchased season passes for Six Flags in the past and have thrown them away as I was not ready to deal an exhausting day. Whenever I take him now to Six Flags it'll only be for a short day and start early. He is coming along great but the other issues are the male hormones when he sees a girl in short shorts, he is determine to follow her and this is when he acts up now as I'm trying to stop him. This is another area that I have to work around when he wants to be close to a girl. Glad it was only one anxiety fit and everything had calmed down. Poor , this was an unexpected scenery for him. Do you own an aquarium for him? Thanks for suggesting the Mylanta. I normally do not give soda due to the sugar that I will not allow him to have as I know he will not sleep at all. Its nice to know though for an emergency and I would probably just allow a couple of ounces of it. Soon to be 13, when? Where in the DFW area are you at? Hugs!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Hi Irma, we used to have an aquarium for but he kept putting toys into the water so we had to get rid of it. that was when he was much younger tho, maybe we could try again sometime. his birthday is April 10. gonna have a big party for him , as he has not had one in many years. We usually celebrate small to avoid anxities. But I think he can handle it this year. Will mostly be family anyway, & a few friends. We live 45 min. n.w. of Ft. Worth. what part of Tx do ya'll live?
