KL - Glad K is alright and your DSS is doing better. I can just imagine the "coughing up blood" debacle. Glad your DH got a decent sleep.
J - you are the best judge of whether your kid is being himself or not. The Dr should take that into account in their assessment of him. I do know how frustrating it is though when your kid is the devil incarnate at home but a picture of peacefulness at the Drs office. It is gratifying when they thrash about on the floor at the drs - the one time positive feelings abound around a tantrum, LOL.
