Doc appointment yesterday with Junebug's pyschologist. He is ADD with H. (formerly ADHD) We started meds today much to his father's disappointment. His father is very against the meds, which I can understand as I was too, at first. Now I realise that my child needs this medication to be able to function 'normally' in school.
Apparently now I am the cause of Junebug not doing well in school. Somehow everything always ends up being my fault but this one I didn't see coming. How in the world is this my fault? I am the one that sits down with him everyday to do homework. I am the one that takes him to school and picks him up everyday. I am the one that takes him to the doc, or museums, or sports, or the park, etc. I am the one that takes him everywhere except to get his haircut. That must be it! I didn't take him to get his haircut I let his father take him. argh!!!!!
It is not enough that I am frustrated with the fact that Junebug has this....his father has to be a total ass. Instead of helping me and trying to figure out how to coach Junebug when he is home, he yells and hits. But everything is my fault.
Junebug took a half a pill this morning. (5 mg) The doc said half a pill mornings and lunch time for three days and then a whole pill. Junebug said himself he was able to better concentrate and math was actually fun today. I asked him if he had a headache or felt wierd after he took the pill and he said no. That made me happy. I do worry about the fact that most children lose their appetites on this med but I am hoping that it will pass quickly.
Will keep posting on how it is going.
