The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 8

[babytrees]

Poor Alyssa. I get home from work tonight and Nicholas comes running out into the garage, before I even get out of the car, telling me he hit Alyssa in the head with the door but it was an accident. I get in the house and she is laying on the couch with and ice bag on her forehead and dried blood on her shirt and pants. She looked so sad and pathetic. My first question is 'does she need stitches'--she's already had them once. No. John and Nicholas explain to me that she was chasing Nicholas into his bedroom and he goes to shut the door, with the edge of it cutting her in the forehead. So she has about a 1/2 inch gash. Our neighbors, husband and wife, both nurses, come over to check her out. He works the skin back into place to form a nice line and gives us some saline and patches her up with those steri-strips that hold the skin together. They give us a supply for about a week and say she will prob not have a scar (I hope not!). So I've pumped her up with Motrin and just put her to bed. I hope she has a good night. Poor Nicholas feels so bad.

Pooa Alyssa!! Hope the boo boo heals fast!

Thanks Marci! I talked to them last last night. Hopefully all will go smoothly


I received the letter concerning Riley & ADHD & it says that he is at high risk. So I guess now I wait till we see the Dr & see what he suggest. I just Want Riley to be able to focus more. I am really worried about him taking medication & what effect it may have on him. I want him to still be his normal self if that makes any sense.

It makes total sense!!

Jim, DH, was finally diagnosed as an adult with ADHD. He was on meds for awhile and they stopped really working so he hasn't been on em for awhile. He still has his "off" days but he had them on meds. Abi has her daddy's ADD tendencies so we have been doing behavior modification since she was little and been able to keep her off meds. With a diagnosis of ADHD you need a combo of meds and behavior modification, Jim just isn't willing to behave mod. so he isn't ever going to be "cured". You won't lose him, I promise, that's really all I wanted to say in my long winded response!!

Have any of you seen Over the Hedge yet?

We promised the girls to go to the drive in to watch it tonight and the line to get in was 6 blocks long!!

So we told them and our little friend that we would take them tomorrow night and get there earlier!!

I just wondered if anyone else had seen it yet!

There are behavioral terchniques you can try if you are concerned about meds. I was concerned at first, but all hesitation went right out the window when I saw how well they both do in school now. We had to be patient and try differenrt meds until we found the right one and correct dosage.
