Well actually I am old member but been a long time since I have been here. I believe it was since my ds was 9 and daughter was 6. Now my ds is 13 and daughter is 10.
How many Wisconsin members here???
Well over the past few years we had total of 11 inpatients for my ds but his last one was May 2006. He really struggle going to public school. He had assualted his Special Education teacher in 5th grade and that was his last inpatient and his last year at the public school. We have both kids in special needs school which a Milaukee charter school. The class sizes are smaller and are doing much better. He start this new school when he was in 6th grade this year he is 7th grade. And making great progress his gpa is 3.5 And he no longers fights me on going to school or doing his homework. He has been on the same medications since the last inpatient of May 2006 (lamictal, lithium, seroquel, ativan and synthroid) daughter has been having issues of being helpless and being in her own little world. She is autistic. Ds has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) along with bipolar. She has the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), adhd, speech and language, ODD and possible BiPolar (BP) as well. She taking lamictal and seroquel besides bedwetting medications.
When he was younger his rages were 4 hours or longer. And was so aggressive, destructive and violent. Today he has rages but they are not like they were before and don't very long. He can still be aggressive and destructive but it is much better than before.
We struggle with weight gain with both of the kids due to there medications. We have been going to children's to get help with the diet and getting them to be more active as well.
Well its bitterly cold in Wisconsin these last few days. Yesterday the darn kitchen sink pipe froze up and last nite the darn toliet froze up and its still frozen this today. Got the kitchen pipe unthaw but no luck with the toliet yet ugh! Have a heater on both pipes. UGH! I hate this bitter cold.
Hope gets warmer soon! Tomorrow they are talking 3 to 6 inches of snow.
Well have a great Sunday! Tomorrow kids are off for martin luther king day. They also had off Friday so been a 4 day weekend for them and stuck in the house all weekend due to the cold weather. Good thing for ps2!!
