His dad told me today that he made an appointment for the free counselling through his work. The appointment is Tuesday. He says he was told that first they want to speak with the parents to hear about what's going on, then they'll set up a 2nd appointment so Tyler can be evaluated.It took forever to catch up on this thread. My DS had a stomach flu that was going around school it seemed like most if not all of his class got it. He was throwing up all night poor thing but the good thing is that that is why I could catch up on the thread because we couldn't go to all of the soccer games and birthday parties and DH is working all weekend. I was happy he got sick over the weekend and it only lasted one night because that way he doesn't miss any more days of school trying to save them up for this trip
Aaawww, poor little guy! I hope he's feeling better.
I'm so sorry about everything with Tyler
Tyler's stepmom told me that like dad, she's also convinced it's nothing physical going on. Mainly because her stepmom, who is a retired firefighter, told her that any effects from the lack of oxygen at birth would have shown up right away. I nicely told her I do appreciate her checking around for advice from others, but that her stepmom is not a neurologist or doctor, and so I still want to get that part checked out, even if it means just narrowing out that possibility. She said, "Well, I'm just trying to get ideas" and I told her I understand that and am grateful for her input because it shows how much she cares about Tyler, but that I just want to have every possibility checked out. She understands that, but dad is dead set against it. Oh well.
She also told me that maybe they're not strict enough with Tyler because she says she sees how strict I am and that they always threaten punishment but don't follow through like I do. Then his dad admitted that he always gives in to Tyler. I'm thrilled they finally see that, so at least this whole ordeal is having a tiny bit of a positive spin.
If I keep losing at the same rate (5 pounds/month), I'll reach my goal in April!!!! Right before the cruise! I've always wanted another tattoo, but told myself, even before I started losing weight, that I'd save that as a reward for reaching my pre-pregnancy weight. Now, it's really looking like I might make it! 
I'd better hurry up and write a good story to send to the Miami Ink show! I jokingly told friends & family that's what I want to do. It's really just a fantasy of mine, but I suppose I could actually try now. 
My DBIL is a fifth grade teacher and swears against red food dye. 
Long shot or not its worth a shot. I guess its like process of elimination or trial and error until you find what it is and then find what works. I'm very impressed on how well you handled Tyler's stepmom...you mantain harmony well and it seems like you are on the same page hopefully your ex will jump on board
