And at a time where a child is developing socially etc, you want them to be able to concentrate on that without having to deal with as much else... so medication can help on so many fronts! I don&#39;t envy the types of decisions you are and will be making.Bcteagirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01726414177201490059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36701788.post-47457661481599605522009-09-11T16:55:39.705-05:002009-09-11T16:55:39.705-05:00I will certainly keep Aiden and your family in my prayers.<br /><br />All best wishes,<br /><br />Nancy<br />allibrary (at) aol (dot) comNancynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36701788.post-82645055061099524402009-09-11T14:39:02.612-05:002009-09-11T14:39:02.612-05:00Wow, you have a lot on your plate. Will be praying for you. <br />My sister went through all that and severe anger in her second child. He&#39;s now on Prozac and doing wonderful. He&#39;s only 12 and he finally got his stuff under control. <br />She has a third child they are still contending with, so we keep him in our prayers. Her oldest is ok. So I understand somewhat what you are going through. God is faithful. He&#39;ll see you through.Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36701788.post-4277543584944094812009-09-11T12:27:37.006-05:002009-09-11T12:27:37.006-05:00homeschooling helped with my son too. If you have a child that has trouble controlling internal things like speed, volume,feelings,etc and or has sensory intergration issues,the school system can be like hell for them. they they need a certain amount of time to rest from the distortions they experience. also clean out his gut, jenny mccarthy and jim carrey are a great place for information for that, they cleanned their sons gut and his autism symptoms went away, only returning when he was sick. They are good middle liners, they do believe vaccines and toxins caused his autism, but they still believe in vaccines, just not 36 shots that they are given now. (as kids we would have recieved 10) I pray for you that you will really consider homeschooling, I run across too many parents these days who waited until grade 3 or 4 and then they have to homeschool because of the child now has alot of emotional issues. It makes me angry that all the options for these kids and understanding them is not known, it is not out there enough and doctors have no clue about them. I pray you will be contact with someone who has gone before you with their kid and is able to come along side you and help you to feel not only good as a mother, but show you all the things available to help your son. alyssaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36701788.post-39617104885168539782009-09-11T09:51:45.445-05:002009-09-11T09:51:45.445-05:00T,<br />I am just glad that he is finally getting help and they are not blaming you for being a bad mom. You are a great mom and I know you will make the right choice... and if you make a choice and find that maybe it was not a good idea, you can always change your mind down the road! Meds are never an exact science but as you said they can really improve your standard of life if you give it a chance. <br />I will be praying. How is Liv doing with her teeth?<br />Love ya!!Shozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18051646264417555951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36701788.post-57899336394214584042009-09-11T07:37:11.858-05:002009-09-11T07:37:11.858-05:00Tara, I will be praying for you and for your kiddos (all 3 of them). We went through similar issues with Blaine (they wanted to medicate for ADD, we chose to homeschool instead) and Justin (they thought he might have ODD, etc, on top of his RAD). It was one of the most difficult decisions we have ever made as parents.<br /><br />Remember as you struggle in this whole &quot;parenting&quot; thing that God sent Aiden, Owen and Olivia to you and your husband because YOU were the perfect parents for them. He knew about Aiden&#39;s struggles long before you did -- and He has big plans for a special child. <br /><br />I will pray for you as you discern His will for your family.Dana Rexrodehttp://www.fgcf.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36701788.post-55105932732694471792009-09-11T07:32:16.185-05:002009-09-11T07:32:16.185-05:00Your are such a good mom. I am all for praying on this one. <br /><br />I wish I had my friend here to explain this to me again. I was going through a situation (moving) where there was no moral question, just a question of what God wanted me to do. I was tying myself in knots trying to come up with the will of God. My friend had an illustration, where she put a dot in a center of a paper and all of us are trying to follow his will by hitting the dot. When most times his will is the white paper, just avoid the dot. <br /><br />If God doesn&#39;t lead you directly to one way or the other, both options are in his will.<br /><br />Again you are a good mom. Hold onto that.Connie Walshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16040034443479045710noreply@blogger.com
