So, once again, a pretty good weekend for Noah. I called an OT and since my insurance won't pay (we have crappy insurance by the way), they will accept Medicaid so when we get that, they will see him..........FYI: I am not a Medicaid advocate at all, but Noah needs it to get the best care he can.
Anyway, yesterday, I found his pill beside his plate, his Vyvanse that is. It was about 10:00 when I found it so it was too late to take it to school. He got in trouble on the playground and he was my "jumpy squirrel" all afternoon. He was driving me NUTS! I gave him his Risp and the little booger stuck it in his ear. It was amazing that he was able to get it out. He was born with cupped ears and his ear holes are big and you can see really well down in there so it just kind of fell out of his ear. I love that child, but I was furious. I just showed him his fist and told him that anything smaller doesn't belong in his ear. He calmed down about 7:30 and I still managed to get him to bed about 8:30/:45. We will have to see how school goes today!

Oh my gosh, Dimples...I missed this post yesterday and now I'm just cracking up thinking about Noah putting that pill in his ear. I'm sorry, I know its not funny but I could so picture Josh doing that at his age. Not only that, I know how small those Risperdal pills are. They are tiny! So glad you were able to get it out. As for him not taking his pill, I know that can happen. Even at 12 I make Josh take his pill in front of me. I put it in his hand and watch him take it every morning. If I just gave it to him, who knows where it would end up. Hang in there...

Sae with Chase. He will be 12 in July, but I watch him take his meds every morning and night. He often drops one on the floor and I need to see which way it flew to find it before a cat does!
Really, is is not malicious, but Chase WILL get distracted and either forget to take the pill, or set them down to go get a drink, and forget to come back once he has the drink....you get the picture.

PS: Yes, I was mad at the time, but the pill in the ear thing is quite funny now!!!!!!
