Soo I went to pick up the boy at his school early yesterday to take him to the doctor's For a medication check. They called him out of his room and he came down to me clutching his elbow "I got hurt someone pushed me over at recess" So I look at his elbow, and it's just a really big scrape, but the nurse had put a teeny tiny bandaid on it.
So I was glad we were going to the doctors because that nurse took one look at that pathetic job the school nurse did and got the stuff, cleaned up the wound and bandaged it right. *sigh* so I would like to ask "don't they have a first aid kit at the school?" So I went out to Walmart and picked up a package of knee and elbow bandages to give them, but WOW I was kind of surprised at how it was handled, not that the cut was bad, but the little band aid and the blood dripping all over the place, I could see bits of dirt in there...kind of shocking KWIM? I know he is in middle school now but I can't imagine them expecting him to clean a wound himself. *shrug*
so back to the ADHD stuff\
He needs a med change and homework is impossible so the psychiatrist recommends him changing to several doses a day instead of the once a day extended release
*sigh* of course the two doctors don't agree, but I am going to take the word of the Ped TYVM So they increased his dose.
Sometimes I get so upset, I wish we didn't have to give him medicine, I wonder about how it all affects him :( I've evn tried taking him off a few times, one time they sent him home from school...it's obvious he struggles so much without it :(
anyway we are hopeful that the new dose will help.
IEP is coming up :)
