Friday Follow – And News!!

Friday Follow

Well it’s Friday and that means it’s time for Friday Follow hosted by One 2 Try, Hearts Make Families, and Midday Escapades.

First I will start with my news. I know have talked about Dakota and school several times. I have said that I don’t think Dakota can handle going to school. The other day we were on our way home from school and Dakota let out this shriek and started crying and screaming his chest hurt. Well I thought nothing of it and didn’t call the Doctor as I was already stressed out from the morning we had that morning. He was on some new pills that made him 10X worse then what he was. I got hit kicked, bit, screamed, and swore at that morning. I had to carry him and put him in the truck twice to get him to school that day. I called the Psychiatrist and he said to stop the meds. He was also concerned about the chest pain. So he is ordering a EKG. We will be doing that Monday after we see the Psychiatrist. The in home counselor was here yesterday too. She also thinks that Dakota can’t handle school. Now that’s not what we were thinking last week. Well ok I said it all along but she didn’t. She asked if Algoma provided home based education and I said yes. But I have no idea how we are going to go about getting it. Yesterday after school I tried to tell 2 of the teachers and it’s like they don’t believe how serious this is. They didn’t respond about the EKG. I almost feel like they think I am nuts or something. My attitude yesterday was why even bother telling them anything anymore when I get the I don’t know what we can do or they change the subject. So really we have to wait and see what the Dr says on Monday and hopefully he will put something in writing and that will have a BIG weight on what happens next at school. Fingers crossed it’s what I am hoping and have been hoping for a while.

I got woken up this morning at 6AM by my Uncle who called to wish me Happy Birthday. Freaked me out as he never calls that early in the morning. It was a nice surprise. My son left me a note in my laptop that said Happy Birthday. What a nice surprise that was. Little sneak! I went to facebook and OMG my whole page was filled with Birthday wishes. Never seen that happen before. Today I am going to go out to lunch with my mom. I think we are going to Tuscan’s. They have the best chimichangas next to the Mexican Restaurant we like.

I have been kinda quiet the last week only because I have been stressed out with the behaviors we have been going through with Dakota. I am so glad he is off the meds as they were really extreme behaviors. I still get the fight once I mention it’s time to go to school. I haven’t really felt like talking on facebook nor really reading blog posts as it’s been kinda rough. Things are looking up now.

For those that are new here and our wondering about why I am talking about school and the Doctors my son has Autism. So I blog alot about what I go through with my son. I also host weekly memes that your welcome to join in.

    First, Happy Birthay!

    Second, I hope everything is fine on the EKG. I’ll keep your family in my thoughts! So, are you thinking of home schooling, or is there another option for him?

    I got my fingers crossed for you that everything works out!

    Thanks Janine for the Birthday Wishes. I am sure everything will be fine on the EKG. Really I think it’s just the stress that we have been talking about all along. To rule things out we are doing the EKG. I actually have been pondering Virtual Public School for next year. But the talk of Home Based Education through our school district came up for brief second. We are going to talk to the psychiatrist on Monday and see what he thinks we should do. We are trying different ideas with the school but so far they aren’t working but I am trying to give it more time. Things will work out one way or another. They always do :)

    Most Important HAPPY FREAKIN’ BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!!! Oh I wished we lived closer so we could relieve each other of “THOSE OFFBEAT DAYS”! These teachers suck rocks!! I am so fortunate of my services here, but he is still young so I am sure I am in for some bullshyt down the line… its been going way to good. Whats up with the DR just yanking him off Meds? Isn’t there a weaning process… that scares me more than anything in this post!

    Thanks Jane! It’s a an awesome Freakin’ Birthday too!! I have had rough week but today went really well. I just wish I was taking more serious about DJ’s stress. Really the kids has chest pains that set him tears isn’t that a red flag enough for the teachers. Why would I make this up? I am talking about the teachers. LOL Dakota wasn’t on the new med for a long time. He was on a it for a little over a week. What I learned was that anti depressants in kids can make it like an adult drinking if that makes any sense at all. It was ok for him to come off this right away as it wasn’t taken for so long thankfully.

    Thank you BlueViolet. We shall see I am really anxious to go. I want Monday to be here already. Not that I want to rush the weekend by no means but I am anxious to see what is going to transpire from this. Thanks for the Birthday Wishes. I had an awesome Birthday.

    Happy Birthday! It certainly sounds like home-based education may be the right step at this time. I hope you get some answers on Monday.

    Thank you for the Birthday Wishes. I had a great birthday. That is what I am thinking too. We shall see. If it does come down to that there will have to be a lot of changes made as well as new structure to build on.

    Hau`oli La Hanau to you my dear sweet friend. I hope you day is just as wonderful as you are. Please don’t get stressed out over all of this. YOu are doing a magnificent job. I’m so glad you can vent here. Know that my thoughts and aloha are with you. Let’s hope the EKG helps. I think stopping those meds might really help :) Happy Birthday!!!

    admin Reply:

    Thanks Thom. My day was fantastic. I am not stressed over the school it’s not worth it. I know one way or another things will change. I have the in home counselor, psychiatrist, Dakota’s case manager all on my side. So if it means we have to get through the school year then we do. I can’t wait until Monday though. I don’t think the EKG will be abnormal. I am sure it is going to be fine. I am thinking positive here. It’s just to rule things out. We stopped the meds during the week. It did help but he did the same thing just not to the extreme. Thanks for the Birthday wishes.

    I am newish to your blog. I have a feeling Dakota’s teachers just don’t understand what is going on, as opposed to not believing you. People can’t really understand what they don’t comprehend.

    I’m glad that you had such a nice birthday though :)

    I don’t think they understand the severity of it as they see something else. I don’t think they want to accept it either to the extreme that it is. You got a point Becca. Thanks for stopping by.
