I did failsafe and found that the additive 320 sends him off his face, I have been a bit slack about the other additives since them but am really strict about no 320.
We are off to our 1st OT appt on Thursday, lots of forms to fill out , I think I am expceting a miracle LOL
BB meetup on Friday, I am terrified Riley will meltdown and hit some kid then lose it completely. I am almost tempted to leave him with my dad.
mrsmac - the meet-up is at my place and if anyone dares say anything if Riley has a meltdown they can take themselves somewhere else! We love Riley and I'll be very upset with anyone who dares look askance or makes a comment. I don't think there's many Riley and Lucy's age coming, so there'll hopefully be less provocation.
I'm also blocking off upstairs (where the bedrooms are). If you and Riley need a break, you are welcome to take him up there with some toys to give him some space. I'll make sure the aircon is on. If he's okay outside there's also plenty of space to play.
If there is anything you think would make it more comfortable for Riley and you'd like to bring him, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks so much Jen, I have left quite a few places in tears with him and I just get scared of what people must think. I am having a tough time atm and feling a bit fragile.
Erin is coming which usually makes things easier so fingers crossed.
Today, its hot where we are and the cicadas were up early Fricken Cicadas!!!!! I now have my super princess all over the place. She woke up flappin' and then couldn't sit down, she just fell over everything and paced for a while. We all sat down to watch a movie in our PJ's and she wandered back & forth in front of the TV.
Thankfully, after getting frustrated with her, I asked her what we could do help her settle down. She said "I think I need the bean bag squish" So we did it, and then I asked her "How many do you think you need?" and she said "3". So we did it 3 times and you know what? She's now standing on the back of the lounge balanced on one leg watching the movie with us. I'm happy that she's not pacing anymore, of course I would prefer she sit on the lounge, but *meh* at least we can watch the movie without her pacing in front of us and falling over toys and the table.
i have a woo hoo and i did get soooo excited only for my sister to break my bubble of excitment
murray has gone to bed for 3 nights and woke up dry in underpants and used the potty all day only had a few accidents when out
he has been so much more easier to control but inthe arvos hes still really chanlanging i have no idea where this change has come from but i like it
im hoping hes ok when we head home tho
but i have a big queastion
Teeth Grinding how do i stop him from constintly grinding them he even does it in his sleep i was told to use a mouth gaurd but im sure it would just get chewed to bits
Hi all, so sorry i haven't dropped in in a while..for some reason BB wouldn't let me post in forums?? Seems to be working today so figured i'd update
Thanks to Lulu, Christy...and ummmmm whoever else gave me info about claiming centrelink carers allowance...we have a follow up appointment for Ethan next month so will ask the dr. to fill out the claim forms then.
Ethan has his assessment with EI next week WOOOHOO looking forward to getting the ball rolling there. I've been looking into starting a sensory diet with him, i think a lot of his behaviour/hyperness/stimming is because of sensory processing issues so hopefully the diet will help.
Today has been a crappy day poor Dh was up last night with a spewy bug which means its only a matter of time before the rest of us get it and ethan always goes feral when he's sick. We're off to a wedding next week so am praying we're all ok by then
Ethan hasn't been having his day sleeps lately which means he's absolutely cranky,feral and yuck by 3pm. I just lost my lolly with him and put him into bed in a vain hope that he'll sleep but i doubt it. He has been constantly hitting,pushing and screaming at his little brother. Some days its literally every 5 minutes that i'm telling him not to hit. By the end of the day i'm so exhausted from repeating myself
And to top it off i've got a touch of mastitis! I must have slept on my booby (dam sensitive breasts) which caused a nasty big lump. Yesterday i felt terrible, with fever and overal yucky flu like symptoms. I was able to get a little nap while the boys were resting which was nice. The lumps still there today. Not as big but still there. I've been offering DS2 more feeds on that booby and gently massaging the lump..all the right things and i'm starting to feel a bit better, still bloody painful though.
