We are making headway!

So I'm a little peeved right now because I received a comment on my blog that implied that my posts are inappropriate, possibly derogatory to my son, and that I am therefore a bad parent and we should all pray for my son having to live with me.

So let me be clear about something. I LOVE MY SON IMMENSELY! If I didn't, I would not put as much effort as I do into taking care of him everyday and finding intervention after intervention to try out. Those who do this also know that always looking for the next thing to try is an EXHAUSTING endeavor. We wouldn't do it unless we loved and wanted the best for our children.

On that note, we got some good news this week. My son is going to be able to attend a montessori charter school for junior high. This is great news because there are only 48 seventh and eighth graders on each campus with 3 teachers and he will get lots of attention and time to continue to mature. He is very excited about it which is really nice since he is rarely excited about school.

He is also having a great week at school. All of his home notes this week have been the most positive he has ever had. It is so wonderful and I can tell he is very proud of himself.

So one might ask, what seems to be turning things around? The only answer I have is that the supplement program the nutritionist put him on, might actually be working. He is eating more. He isn't having any hypoglycemic mood swings like he always has in the past. He seems generally calmer, more focused. And giving him all these supplements, 4 times a day, is the only thing that has changed.

We just sent off another hair sample this week to have it analyzed again. I look forward to seeing what the changes look like in that.

So be well. Take care. And remember, I know you love your children, even if you spend more time complaining about them than raving about them!
