mrspiatt, can you check in? I heard y’all had no power today, but are you safe? Hi- we’re okay right now. These fires are absolutely crazy and the wind is so terrible. I took the kids to get their pics taken today in Santa Clarita (which is where I used to live) and a fire started after I left... we ended up caught in an area that had fire burning on both sides and the smoke was so thick we could barely see, I was one of the last cars to get through this morning and it’s still closed. That was a bit scary. Our power went out last night for a while, but it’s back on now. We just really need the wind to stop, otherwise this may end up very similar to the fires up north a couple months ago.

I hope you're enjoying some warm weather in Miami coconutbacon! Have you been able to talk to P by phone or face time? I totally sympathize about not wanting to be away from her for a long time. On the plus side, you get a break from toddler antics this week and you'll be so happy to see her when you get home!

Basically i would need to switch pedi's from whose he's had the last 2 years. I can't win switch pedi's. do it. it's in the best interest of the best possible care for S1. that trumps the years you have been with current pedi.

For those of you who had your wisdom teeth out ... How long was it until your gums fully closed up? I am still picking out pretty significantly sized pieces of food from the holes back there and I just am afraid it's going to get infected or whatever. It's been 2.5 weeks. The stitches dissolved after 1 week ... a long time. Weeks, maybe months, that I felt like I still had holes in them

taketheshot it was quite a while for me. More than a month. I actually still have a weird spot on the bottom right where it didn’t close correctly. Just try to keep it clean as much as possible.

Thanks! I’m glad to be back. I was overwhelmed this semester with DH working 60hr weeks, both girls, and being in school full-time for the first time since the semester before E was born. My last final is tomorrow. I’m nervous!

Things continue to go downhill with s1 without medication. He impulsively hit someone today he was punished by not being able to eat lunch with his friends. The email said he was not provoked so I’m guessing he did it without meaning to. He was also sent to the assistant principal and if this continues he’ll lose recess time which is the worst punishment to give an adhd/SPD kid who needs movement to regulate.
Still no call from children’s
Still no call from u of MN
Thank goodness I made that appointment for tomorrow and I pray to god that we get the referral we need or something that will help him.

Hitting is definitely not ok but if they take recess away that will create more problems

jedi I'm sorry for the rough day. Your post makes me ragey that the school is not understand the function of behaviour and punishing someone for something they struggle with controlling is ridiculous. Taking away something that will help him regulate is ridiculous. It's like taking away a child's glasses for not being able to read a word properly...absolutely hitting is not okay, but give him supports and natural consequences, not punishment for something he cannot control without supports. Trying to use things like recess as a 'motivator' will not motivate him to 'behave' if he doesn't have the skills without the supports (in this case could be the medication). Ugh...Sorry makes me crazy when people can't look with a solution-focused lens. Hugs lady. I hope you get some good news and can work with them on appropriate supports...

redandblue exactly, and I found out his OT has not been consistent and it’s in his IEP to get it weekily. I tried to talk to Isaac. I told him I wasn’t mad that I just wanted to understand. He couldn’t really tell me, which makes me think it was an impulse and beyond his control. I’ll be responding to the email later tonight. I remember last time this year..... we were doing OT for 3 months, we had started medication and it was like my kid was transformed. Still his silly self but could do things, like sit still and do activities. By the end of the school year his preschool special ed teacher and preschool teacher said that they were really having a hard time finding things for him to work on because he was doing so well. We’ve done a complete 180 and we are back to exactly where we were. A situation like we had today happened and it was my breaking point. We had our adhd diagnosis a month later and had started OT. I’m confident we can get back there but the system is failing us. It’s heartbreaking

Literally the worst night my poor little girl has ever had. She's slept maybe 4 broken hours. She is so congested and I've done everything I can possibly do. I think I'm going to get her in the doctor today to check her ears. She's never had an infection but I've never heard her scream like she was last night. Boy oh boy it's heartbreaking. I'm at the gym now cause I know if I skip I'll just be even crankier hopefully I can catch a nap when the girls are napping later

Hi. House hunting is consuming my life. We got an offer on our house that we countered, and a second potential offer. In 3 days, we've shown our house 8 times and from now-Sunday we have 5 more showings.
