hi again......

[Guest guest]

Thank God, all M's blood tests are ok. he may have a virus but that is all.

teh pediatrician thinks this means that the hematomas are a side effect of

one of the meds. now we can't know which for sure, but since he was on

Risperdal for a year and has not had them, and only about two months on the

Clonnirit, this started to happen, so chances are it is the Clonnirit. Pitty

because the Clonnirit eliminated 99% of the tics he has and now most of

the the tics are back. I am taking him to the psychiatrist this afternoon.

both the psychiatrist and the psychologist feel they would like to see him

completely without meds for about 2 weeks . I don't know how the school will

take it, but since the next week is vacation and we may prolong it (see

further down) , we may simply not tell the school. at least at first. if the

doc decides to leave him off meds, then we will need to tell. but it is very

tempting not to tell the school and see how they relate to certain things he

does thinking it is under med control..... I am sadly sure that if I tell

them he is not on meds they will see every bit of behaviour as out of

control....right now the school is feeling very discouraged because he has

not yet come to the point of sitting in classes the whole day... I do

believe he is well on his way to make it, but that it is imperative to hang

in there with him and give him all the time he needs to reach that point. I

think that what happened yesterday with the self-rewarding fish plus what is

happening socially positively are two good signs he is on teh right track.

heck!! they just need more patience.

I mentioned prolonging the vacation : dh suggested (first time in 7 years

!!) that we take 4 days off and go away. oh, how much I need to go away !!!!

but it has to be during the week *after* shool vacation. at first I did not

agree, but in second thought - why not ? between you and me, what is there

in school that can't be missed for 4 days?? and I believe our children too

are in so much stress ,and we haven't had a vacation in so many years - so I

figured: lets do it! I feel like a nauty pupil, skipping school! yippi!!!!

Coming Tuesaday we are having M's and his sister's birthday party , and I

am awaiting to haer fomr M waht theme the cake is going to be (last year he

decorated teh whole cake by himself). I am SO relieved that it is NOT going

to be pokemons anymore........

Pals, I would appreciate if you commented on my post on the AS lecture at

school, I feel really URGH about howi t went and would like to hear how you

see it.

Welcome to all newbies!

I hope that now that we know nothing horrible is wrong with him

(re:hematimas) , I will get back to my usual posting pace.....

Love,

F

>> I am not

saying that anything took place at all nor is anythingt going to but

I would if i were your friend I would talk to my daghter just to see

if anything really did happen and im not saying it did at all just to

make sure that she is OK.<<

I agree completely that this is the most logical, as well as the most

compassionate, course of action.

>> the other issue with the teacher calling

her a liar if i were in your friends sitation I would got to The

Principal or the school board if neccasary and report her and have

the teacher apologize to her over something like that i can

understand just how humiliating that would have been if a teacher

said that to me when i was her age<<

Agreed again, not only that, but not addressing that situation sets a

precedence for her to not speak up in the future if something does happen to

her. After all, if no one believed her before, why would they now?

Welcome, =)
