Wow. What a day. We had 3 appointments today within 2 1/2 hours. It was kinda crazy. I hope to never have to do it like that again.
Isaac and Tommy had therapy and then Tommy saw the psychiatrist for the first time.
When we first started to wonder if something was wrong, I started reading everything I could get my hands on. I came to the conclusion that I thought he had ADHD and ODD. After going to therapy for a while and now seeing the psychiatrist, it turns out, I was right. He has both. I wish I had been wrong. I hope that catching it and treating it early will make a big difference to him. Especially with the ODD. ODD stands for oppositional defiant disorder. It is just as scary as it sounds. If you haven't heard of it, you should look it up.
He has been put on two different meds. I hope they work for him without causing any side effects. I feel like he really needs this. I feel like he may only get worse without it. I hope that we also have good result from the meds that I know they will be putting Isaac on. If you are reading this, I sure hope you will pray for all of us. It would be great if you would let me know you are praying. I would be encouraged by that.
well, my teenage daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD, ODD and BiPolar and I promise that there are times of total frustration and thoughts that I really don't think I can take it any more. the meds do help. the first day of the adhd meds, the kids will be zombie-like, but after a couple days their bodies will get used to it and i hope and pray that the meds work and you get some peace in your home.
