[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 411572, member: 3444"] Overall, he's fared okay through this "oops." He's been a little more wound up in the evenings and talkative. I've tried giving pm medications about a half hour earlier and that seems to help. Later this month he has an overnight field trip aboard a tall sailing ship... I am a bit anxious about this! The school will have to administer a full day's worth of medications -- maybe his impatient social studies teacher will come away a little more sympathetic to difficult child 2 when he sees what we deal with on a 24-hour basis! Funny thing about the pill boxes, they don't always work. What has worked is me hovering. And that has to change eventually. I don't hover over husband anymore and there are days when he forgets and then he pays the price later on. And I sit there with an understanding expression while he bemoans his forgetfulness, then I ask what he plans to do so he doesn't forget anymore. I've given him the pill boxes. He has a smartphone with alarms, notepads, calendars, yada, yada. He's very organized and on top of things at work -- so I know he can do it. He's just going to have to do it without me holding his hand, lol. The difficult child's, though will take a bit more time before I can walk away. [/QUOTE]
