[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 143393"] Thank you everyone. Let me try to answer some questions. First of all, the Daytrana was ordered because of signs of ADHD before the final review of the test. I don't know if it will be continued or not. I had been waiting to hear from the doctor. Before I spoke with the nurse last night, all I had known was the CT Scan had been ordered, I didn't know why, I suspected though that he had seen something that required looking at the brain structure. I believe that the doctor hadn't said anything because he didn't want to worry me. The nurse was going to leave a note for him to let him know that she did tell me. We won't know what is causing the mass until we do the scan, but the doctor is suspecting possibly either a cyst or a tumor. A tumor in that area could be causing the extreme behaviors as well as the hallucinations he has been having that are getting worse. Bi-polar (and ADHD) does run in my family. Looking back on behaviors from when difficult child was younger that diagnosis doesn't surprise me. As far as my mom coming to town, this was already planned for months. My mom and step-dad come every year for like 10 days in the spring. This trip was planned so that they would be here for my daughters 16th b-day on the 13th. So I won't have to explain to her why her grandparents are here. The biggest thing is me maintaining my composure around her. I have a tough time keeping things from her, she always knows when something is bothering me. Last night I put it on that the visit didn't go well, which it didn't because difficult child went from being very scared because he is "seeing" different figures now and he said they are as real looking as you or I and he is also claiming that they have scratched him. Anyway, he went from being scared to crying the majority of the time I was with him. So last night when I got home from the psychiatric hospital, I just told my daughter that it was a hard visit. gcvmom - go ahead and please send me links for this. I asked about hemorrhaging, the nurse said the doctors notes do not indicate anything about it, just increased blood flow to the area. I really appreciate everyones good thoughts and I will be sure to keep everyone posted. Christy [/QUOTE]
