Margaret...Wow!!!! Really exciting to hear that ANY med has worked

for 8 yrs. Just realized when we were doing the wt check on Ben

last eve. that we have been on the Zyprexia for over a month and NO

SIGN OF WT GAIN!!! AND the behaviors are more under control than

since we used the Risperdal...Wish we could say that the boy issues

were not an issue...but we started early with the concept of private

times for private issues...so it does not bother ME too much---he's

fine with his issues-LOL!

...I wish I would have held Ben back early..he was really

doing well in Pre-school and then we put him in Kdg at 5...for him

the maturity difference between 5 and 6 was huge...I think you need

to use mom's instinct and keep Adam where he is...One yr at his age

can make all the difference between a good yr and a non-productive yr

Carol...Glad to hear that Trisha did well with her last Dr.

visit...our Optomistrist held out with Ben's glasses until he was 8

yo and then said he would try it.Ben was so thrilled with the being

able to see that he has hardly taken them off since he got

them...His teacher said that he just sat in the classroom and looked

around.

My pedit. also recommended Eucerin for dry skin...Also I never use

any soap other that one with moisturizers (DOVE) I would also ck

about the thyroid issues...when Ben's thyroid meds are needing to be

adjusted his skin gets really dry and mottled.
