Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 I have to vent....again.... Today she smeared poop three times!!!!! How much poop can the girl possibly have?!!!!!!!! I even tied rope around her jeans and over her shoulders....she got out of it!! I feel very guilty right now, but I gave her a clonidine to put her to sleep because I just could not take it anymore. She is on the risperdal for sleeping, the clonidine was left over from before. I feel like I drugged her too much, but it was that or go crazy. I swear if she had done it again today, I don't know that I would not have beat her cute little poopy behind!! I am soooooooo tired of this. I just don't know what to do. Thank god her psych appointment is on the 8th. I hope that the doctor can do something for her and for me. I can't do this much longer. I am so angry when she does this that I scare myself. Thanks for listening...

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Thanks! Actually, so far so good. She woke up in a great mood...slept like almost 12 hours through. And she has just been a little sweetheart this morning....lots of hugs and interactions....very cute. Thanks again and I hope you never have to deal with this. Some kids do it and some don't...I hope you're one of the lucky parents!! Tamara ----Original Message Follows---- Reply-To: parenting_autism To: parenting_autism Subject: Re: Yet another SH%#Y day!!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Tamara, I'm so so sorry you had to go through that. I know exactly what you mean about being so angry. I get that way too & it is really scary. We WILL go to the post office today & I will send the harness the fastest they can get it there. I just hope it works. Would she enjoy playing in an oatmeal & water or flour & water paste, do you think? Could you confine her to the kitchen or bathroom or some other place with a tile floor to let her play in it? You could even show her how to mix it up so she could get it to the 'right' texture... For Mikey's behaviors we have to find substitutes like that & do OT with them every 2 hours, all day, every day, or he starts in on the behaviors again. (Eating the drywall and digging at his eyes.) The trampoline has MAJORLY reduced this as he can do his own OT whenever he feels the need. So maybe you could set up a little " play station " for her...if she wouldn't make a tremendous mess everywhere...where she could go mash stuff whenever she needed to. -Sara. p.s. whenever get feeling that way, there are child abuse prevention hotlines you can call and just vent to a real person...Look the number up now, while you're feeling sane, and post it on the fridge. I'll include my phone # with the harness too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Thank you sooo much, Sara. I am hoping the harness works, too. The ot ideas are helpful, too. YOU DO THAT EVERY TWO HOURS? How long each time? It just seems like you would either be setting it up or cleaning it up constantly! She does have a trampoline and she uses it a lot. Thanks for the ideas!!

I know I was approved, through Medicaid, to get a whole bunch of stuff that the OT recommended. She had to write a letter requesting it with pages from the catalog to order it from. Don't know if your Medicaid program would cover that but it might be worth a try. On my list was: Trampoline (bigger than the regular gym size ones), wiggle and sit, humbug massager, scissors, putty, large therapy ball, peanut ball, weighted vest...etc. It totaled beaucoup bucks...
