Little Bear was admitted last tuesday, and I am still an emotional wreck. I have some questions that I was hoping some of you can answer. It was definitly for the best because Little Bear was raging that day in his Dr. office and had to go by ambulance. I felt like I was in a daze. It seems so...

Little Bears school contacted me last week to let me know they had notified an alternative placement, just in case, because of Little Bears continuing aggressive behavior. He is actually MUCH better than he used to be but continues to have occasional issues at school. He was officially diagnosis last...

I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know how Little Bear is doing since my last post! I am keeping my fingers crossed, but Little Bear is doing extremely well since he started intuniv right before christmas. We went to his last appointment and talked a lot about him possibly having a diagnosis of high...

A little backstory....Little Bear started having a relapse of his aggressive/violent behavior about 6 days ago which was a shock. We tried to raise his Seroquel then lowered it back down which was the only medication change we made. He was put on Celexa which really helped the aggression and we had one...

Little Bear is being referred to a great children's hospital in our state and we are now waiting for his appointment to their psychiatry clinic. It takes 6-8 weeks after referral to be called for an appointment. so I am trying to get all my question's together now. We have tried all kinds of medications and...

I finally thought we had a concrete diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder for Little Bear last week and it all changed last night:confused1: He was qualified for services at school last Friday with a really good IEP that included transportation, sensory breaks, etc. which was really a HUGE stress reliever...

Little Bear was put on a new medication yesterday by his Dr. because he had a major rage at school Mon. that lasted for 30min and included hitting, kicking, biting, bad language. He had to be restrained of course and was suspended for 2 days. I talked to his Dr. and she believes he is definitly...

Little Bear had a meltdown.... Last Wed. the Asst Principal walks Little Bear out to my car. He says he didnt want to pack up to go but made good choices and eventually got with the program. Then on Thurs. I am asked to come inside where I find Little Bear in a TOTAL meltdown. We get him down...

We have been so busy lately that I haven't been able to get on here and post! I figured I would do a little update on Little Bear since you all have been wonderful on here about giving us great advice. Little Bear started KG and has been doing wonderfully! He has had all good days on his...

I just wanted to update for all of you that have followed our saga with Little Bear. I have definitly came to realize I have to cherish these good moments! 1. Little Bear seems to be "stabalized" for lack of a better word, from his medication change. 2. Biodad agreed to NO overnights which thrilled...

I have a few questions regarding hospitilizations and when that decision is made etc. Little Bear is only 5yo so I have went through a great deal to avoid putting him inpatient. I am struggling with whether or not we can do this by ourselves. We had a very bad weekend with Little Bear and he...

We have had a really rough week with Little Bear. He came back from a weekend with Biodad angrier than normal. He has been swearing, hitting, kicking, raging, being defient over EVERYTHING, scaring his little sister, etc. etc. We raised his depakote from 750mg to 1250mg last week, and his...

I am at least! Little Bear is excited to go, but I keep having these flashes of him going into a rage at school. I have already sent in the request for an mult. evaluation to the school so at least they have a heads up. I wanted to find out what any of your experiences were if your difficult child did have a...

Little Bear has been doing better than he ever has with his new medication change, except one problem cropped up again late last week and it has me worried. His rages have shortened to about 15min and are more infrequent then they had been. However, he is getting more violent during his rages...

I am writing the letter to request services to my difficult child's school before he enters kindergarten in the fall. Do I list his diagnosis through my private evalution in the letter??

As most of you know Little Bear has a Mood Disorder which I believe could also be either Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or both. He had a major crisis last month and was put on Seroquel and Depakote since both had anti-manic properties. Well I think we might be onto something! He went into a little rage last week and...

I have been trying to find a name for something difficult child has been doing for awhile now even back before our first consult for our diagnosis. His psychiatrist took note but didn't seem as concerned as I was. He will start out saying a sentence and has to constantly restart the sentence to get to the end. If...

How do you keep your patience in check with your difficult child? I am really soul searching lately trying to come up with this answer. Most of the time my patience is great but sometimes I get so frustrated I want to run away and hide from him. Then of course I feel guilty for feeling this way:sad-very...

I just wanted to give a big Thank you to everyone that responded to my post "I think we are in crisis". I felt so defeated and hopeless that day that I really needed support from parents that understand everything we are going through. husband also wants to start getting on here with me to read more...

I havent been on for a little while but knew this was the best place to come for help. We have tried several medications for difficult child so far... risperdal, abilify, and now on tegretol. Since we started the tegretol difficult child seems to be slowly slipping away. We are only 4 days in on the full dose and today he has...
