After being sick most of last week and hardly eating anything he is finally feeling better. He was sleeping 12 to 13 hours a night and not eating duirng the day - and this was after he temperature was gone.
He hardly ate anything last week and he is no back up to eating half of what he used to.
Hopefully he doesn't get sick again this summer.

He is sick
He hardly ever gets really sick but when he does he goes all the way!
He was up about 4 times Sunday night and Monday morning he had a fever of 102. He has a headache, sore throat, and his back hurts.
They doctor didn't do a strep test but did put him on antibiotics. He only thought he was better lasat night. He was up for a while this morning and is now back in bed asleep. It would be nice if he could sleep most of the day and wake up feeling fine.

Well, I blew it, but I'm not telling anyone!
I blew it last night. I wanted to see how my son did without his afternoon dexedrine. I thought maybe with the 2.5 mg of namenda and his lithium things would go pretty smooth.
Boy was I wrong!
First, he lights the grill and then yells for help. Why you ask? Because he light all four burners and my dear husband had not emptied the thing that holds the grease. So again you are asking me why he was yelling for help - well let me tell you - the grease caught on fire and it he grill looked like it was on fire.
He was only supposed to light the two middle burners.
Second he is getting the tongs out of the drawer - he agains askes dh to please come help it because something is stuck. DH is tired so he doesn't get up to help son and guess what happens? The drawer is broken!
Third, he gets out the french fries to put into the deep fat fryer and again I hear him yell: "Were there two burners on?" Guess what? My daughter and I had both used the stove and so it was hot. We had just turned off the burners and the lights were still red and he had put the plastic bags of fries on the stove and now there is melted plastic on my smooth top!
Fourth, he puts too many fries in the fryer and oil is splattering everywhere!
Never again will I try and skip his dexedrine!
That wasn't even the end of it. He went up to feed the cows and came back with blood on his shirt!!! He cut his finger on the barbed wire fence.
Of course he had the key to the gate in his jeans but he didn't look hard enough so he climbed the fence!
But I wasn't about to tell anyone all this was my fault because I experimented with his medications.
So what did I learn? That dexedrine still plays a vital roll in his daily care. Yes, the namenda kept him calm but it didn't help his concentration like the dexedrine does.

Catch Up
I'm still trying to play catch up.
I saw on the news yesterday a clip about parents being able to select which school they want their children to attend. You have to have a certain income (which means you cnanot be rich). It goes into effect in August just in time for school.
I'll have to look for more informaton on it.
Jed Baker will be in Oklahoma City June 16. He is great and has so much information on children's behavior. You don't have to have a special needs child. I am looking for the registration information. Once I find it then I will post it here.

Long Time No Post - Sorry
Sorry it has been an entire month since I last posted. This month has just been really busy and I've been running with it.
Trying to keep my son in school the last month was becomming a trial. He wouldn't go on Mondays and would come home early on a day or two the rest of the week.
I worked on trying to get him on disability but what I got was an official denial so that I can try TEFA - which I have not had time to do.
Then it was time for his IEP meeting. That was a basic nightmare/struggle/totally upsetting event. The parent advocate that was going to attend with me broke her knee and I wasn't informed until the day of the meeting which left me scrambing to find someone to go with me.
I did find someone and she did help.
The classes are good: woodworking, art, compouter apps, computer website building, history, math, and English.
But the behavior plan is a two edged sword that is not balanced but ready to strike down my son. I wrote two pages of concerns just on that part of the IEP and turned them in.
We are going to have another meeding before the actual day of school starts.
I promise I will post mroe soon and explain why a bad behavior plan is a dangerous plan.
until then.....

Got Cereal?
I do. About 10 large empty cereal boxes. My son is now onto Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal and lots of milk.
And now you're wondering why I have all the empty boxes let me tell you. I'm going to cut them up and use them for crafting. Instead of buying cardstock I'll use these boxes in my die cutting machine.
He gets to eat and I get to craft.
