[QUOTE="buddy, post: 527955, member: 12886"] Thanks so much you guys. Yesterday was a little more challenging but Fridays always are, and Yet....it never got physical, not even a bump into me now that I think of it, he did get really mouthy but guess what I figured out?? I had given him his Ritalin boost at 430 when the Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker came to get him and I forgot to give her a dose for that 3.5 hour mark when rebound starts (never happens iwht concerta but it does for these night booster doses) and his Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker said he was literally calm one minute (and had been the whole night) then he switched....I am sure the transition to home (and hoping friends were out) with the wearing off of medications were the cause. I gave him medications right away when he came but he was so loud and impulsive. Literally screamed in a panic (saw his whole body jump) like three times so he had tons of adrenalin rushing around in him .... everything scared him (sounds, fast movements etc.) and he refused to come in the house, gosh that is SOOO stressful, he had his roller blades on and he was going up and down in front of our houses yelling things about and to me....In about 40 minutes he started settling. I told him I was going to take a bath so he could not yell to me anymore because I would not be able to hear him (Of course I didnt go in the bath, I just stood by the window watching him)...it worked. He finally came in (thank god no kids were out playing so no scenes started)..... The whole thing was maybe an hour but I felt like passing out afterwards. Trying to look at the positive, through all of that he never threw a rock or got aggressive in any way with me. I didn't even notice until I was writing this post (I was on such high alert/stress I was not looking for the good in it). They said school went well again, he had a new bus driver/aide better suited for him I am hoping so that all went well. He also had a great PT session. I am SURE the prayers and positive energy from you guys is a big part of it. I also post on prayer works at the website for our local contemporary radio station.....not trying to get religious, just sharing what for me is the only thing I can hold onto these days.....
