[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 195734, member: 3419"] Hi Barbie, wow, reading your profile, you've got your hands full! I know what you mean about watching them sleep. I often go in and kiss my difficult child while he's sleeping because he's SO peaceful, it seems like he's a different person. I once asked my easy child how she could fall asleep so quickly and easily. She was 5 at the time. She said she just let her mind go blank and let her body feel heavy and sleepy and poof! There ya go. Ah, to be 5 again ... I was happy today ... at the pediatrician's ofc. I went in to review my difficult child's psychiatric hospital records and talk about medications. The pediatrician worked in a local psychiatric hospital and has seem Aspies and bipolar kids etc etc and we talked for about an hr. It was GREAT! We had a great mtng of the minds. It was a relief but it was also intellectually stimulating. My fave part was when he blasted the pediatrician hospital for the vague "Mood disorder not otherwise specified" discharge diagnosis. Then, I came home to the REAL issue ... my difficult child who started to get mean when his Adderal wore off, refused to help me fix the dishwasher door that had dumped its entire contents onto the floor because there was no screw holding the dishwasher to the countertop, and I couldn't fix it because I've thrown out my back ... but he took his evening medications right away and swallowed them. No fight, no argument. OMG, I'm happy. He's not perfect but he took his medications. I have to be thankful for the little things. And you will, too. It's not one day at a time. It's one hr at a time. And sometimes, one minute or second at a time. {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
