Ryan was diagnosed today with ADHD and also suspected PDD (pervasive developmental disorder, the umbrella term of autism that is most mild).

Welcome back to morning naps Leave a comment
Chris HAS been sleeping well at night for months, but was having more assertive (to put it mildly!) behavior during the day. After struggling for several weeks (months?) with his having trouble obeying limits and NOT pulling on our arms where he wants us to go, pulling us along the road, hallways, kitchen, wherever something [...]
STRATTERA Leave a comment
Has anyone here taken Strattera? After reading about it on the net I’m a little NERVOUS. But I’ll still try it. Hey if I can give Chris geodon and Colleen concerta, then I may as well be a guinea pig too— just kidding, kinda. Seems one loves it, or hates it. I hope I do [...]

I just wish I had time to write out all the things that go through my head. I just go and go and really never have a down time. If I do take a down time, something else suffers, like my sleep time, or my pile of dishes, or my daughter’s homework. I’m not depressed, [...]
posts from my moms group…. Leave a comment
KIM, thanks for your comments – you got me thinking about school again and about a conversation Rog and I had a few days before. I am not DEF. going to school in the fall. I’d LIKE to but things would have to be a lot different in a short time. Chris needs LOTS of [...]
Finally a chance to breathe Leave a comment
