[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 231345, member: 1631"] TM-I'm crossing fingers that this will help some-I know it won't be the cure all but it should help-and if nothing else he will be getting a more restful sleep. Klmno-You're right difficult child is incredibly dependent on us-he has no friends at this point (some he hangs with at school I guess) so it is rough on him too-not reading-he can't lose himself in a book-Know what I mean?? Parents have to stay at the wrestling tournament so we can't really leave but it was a good thought. Gvcmom-Yep we are holding on to the hope that it will help. I agree it's a far off consequence-he just has so little going on right now-maybe some serious chores will work. I'll let you know how the cpap works. They said a lot of kids-even adults are resistent. Right now difficult child thinks it's kinda cool so I'm crossing my fingers. I think my husband needs a sleep study as well! Lorh-difficult child did already have his tonsils and adenoids out-didn't help behavior or stop the snoring. They want to see if there is anything that can be done structurally to enlarge his passage way. I know we were hopeful about the better behavior when the tonsils were removed but it didn't happen. Sharon-That's a good idea. If we don't get too much snow (we're suppose to get up to 8 inches) we just might do it. If we take difficult child to the tournament we can't on Sunday but we might be able to do both a break tomorrow. I know it's the right thing to raise the bar-I'm glad we have supports in place right now while we do it. Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the hugs, good thoughts, and ideas. Last night a good friend called and I was shocked I started crying when I was telling her about difficult child's latest. Luckily, she's my boyfriend, and knows all about difficult child and is so wonderful. The in-home staff are talking about setting a level system up at home. That way we won't feel like we have to be constantly consequencing him. Whatever level he is at will be what privileges he has so it will be more him earning it which I like. [/QUOTE]
