[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 278357, member: 3444"] Today seemed better. He did sleep in, so maybe it was just an issue of not enough yesterday. I took him to a matinee with a friend and the friend's sister. He was a little wound up while waiting in line, said his head was buzzing a little -- but as soon as they started talking about something he's REALLY interested in (Pokemon game), he suddenly pulled it together and was focused and not so hyper any more. Weird. He was fine in the theater, too, and the rest of the day went o.k. TM, he fortunately ended up not missing any of his dosages (was just late one day last week) because husband managed to get samples from the psychiatrist to hold us over until the rx shipment arrived late last week. When we were waiting in line today, I asked difficult child 2 to try to keep his body still because he was swinging his arms around and playing a poking game with the friend's sister -- I was worried about it escalating and someone near us getting bumped or stepped on. The friend said somewhat sarcastically, "Is difficult child 2 EVER able to hold still?" I don't think he meant it in a mean way, just a frank observation. He also said difficult child 2 sometimes sleeps in class. I told him that his medicine makes him really tired sometimes and he can't help it. This boy is the ONLY kid who calls difficult child 2 to do things together. Although their personalities are VERY different, they do share common interests. I hope that even though they'll be going to different schools next year we'll be able to keep the friendship alive. He's a good kid and is patient/tolerant of difficult child 2's quirks. It's good to hear everyone's experience with stability. I guess at this age it's not that unusual to have some off days, especially considering all that his brain is trying to deal with. I look at him and wonder about the future and worry sometimes. One day at a time, I guess... Thanks everyone :) [/QUOTE]
