[QUOTE="Tate1, post: 175882, member: 5590"] They are sending difficult child to partial program because they are the people in the area who have the experience to work with kids with medical issues and behavioral issues. The first hope is to sort through what is causing what. The second is to try behavior mod before more medications as seizure threshold will be lowered by anxiety medications. difficult child can not afford that. It has taken over 2 years to get him to partial control of seizures. He has been on most medications and failed them. What is left he is allergic to. He was set for brain surgery before the lamictal gave us seizure hope. The anxiety is worse now that environmental factors have come into play...3 major deaths in a year etc. They feel his medical treatments have been traumatizing. The psychologist also feels cognitively difficult child is about 2 years advanced and emotionally is at a 3 year old level. She says the split can actually cause the anxiety problem. I talked to the hospital today. They already talked about medications. We will see when we get there on Monday. I just know he can not continue so anxious. I understand why he freaks out but we are at a loss to help him gain control. As for the dog we are waiting for our puppy to be old enough to take home. We get to go meet her in 2 weeks and bring her home in 4 weeks. I agree it will be a huge help for him. He yearns for companionship in the form of a sibling but the dog will have to suffice as we can't handle a second one with things the way they are. [/QUOTE]
