oops update

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the replies to my post. Jake had a

terrible day yesterday...or at least I did. He got

into the bathroom (we'd stopped needing to lock it)

and poured out all the shampoo. When I was cleaning

that mess he went down stairs got red jello and

smeared it into the carpet. Out came the spot lifter.

When I was cleaning that mess he climbed up into the

cupboards and got an entire bag of xanthan gum and

poured it into the kitchen sink. I can't begin to

tell you how hard this stuff it to clean up when it

gets wet!!!! And the SCREAMING! OMG!

I gave him the pepcid and tonight he was such a

sweetie. He said " I love you, Mommy " just before he

went to sleep.

This really happened at a good time. His transition

into K has been really rough. I was beginning to

wonder if working so hard to get the teacher to comply

and all the baking and special trips to the HFS were

worth it.

I have my answer!!!

Congrats on the luck with the Pepcid Rhonda. I know the feeling of

having to go through those behaviors. Tommy has taken MY patients to

a level that most people will never see in a lifetime!!..lol LUCKY

US! I had really good luck with the pepcid last night as well..

Luckilly for me, I think I caught it before Tommy had a chance to

react to MY slip up. We have to live and learn though :-)

HUGS!!

Maybe you should try adding a digestive enzyem like Kirkmans Enzyme Aid. It

has helped our son a lot. We've seen a lot of gains since using it.

Hey there Terry

I must say.. up until the point of the slip up, Tommy was getting bad

again.. to the point where his behaviors were exhausting us ALL.

When I called his ped, he said that pepcid wont hurt him. That it

has the same effect on people as taking a tums. The only difference

is the ingrediants.. ie- pepcid AC has no gluten. I gave him the

PepcidAC night before last.. and since then, he has been WONDERFUL.

He has actually been sitting down with us at dinner, and watching tv

with us after dinner instead of stimming until bed time. Today, the

school called me to tell me how WONDERFUL of a day he was having.

That he was participating in circle time, and at recess, he was

actually playing with the other kids. When the bell rang, he lined

up with the other kids, and followed inside the building with the

others. His shadow didnt have to prompt him at all. Maybe its just

a coincidence.. I dont have a clue. We have also taken him off of

the clonodine as well (thats a WHOLE other story.. I do NOT recommend

using clonodine though). I would GUESS that it wouldnt hurt to TRY

it with Nik.. but definetly call you ped first to make sure of the

dosage. I gave Tommy one tablet. It was the name brand.. Pepcid

AC.. is there different brands??..lol My husband uses it alot, so I

am stocked with it in the medicine cabinet..lol Keep me updated on

what happens though.. I am DEFINETLY interested in what happens..

Good luck!

Hugs
