Hello all!!
It has been a while. I found Unomas when Collin was about 5 months and he just turned 11. Unomas is a God send!!
Collin is now in 3rd grade. He started Kindy when he was 6yo and completed 2 years of it, so that's why he is a bit older than most 3rd graders. He is currently struggling with going to school. He does not enjoy it...at all. Math is a challenge for him but...he does do it under protest. He is currently reading on about a 1st grade level.
While his studies aren't necessarily his strong point he does have very good social skills and is very independent.
Collin is diagnosed with ADHD and Hypothroidism and medically treated for both. While I am not a medicine person being on ADHD medicine is the right thing for him.
Just a quick update on my little man!!
Connie

Nice update! After the year from hell last year and all these different meds, I am glad we got Russell back on his Risperdal with monitoring. World of difference. So, I can appreciate your post!! A.

A. I am so glad Russell is back on his Respirdol and it is working for you. We tried Collin on it last year in conjunction with his Aricept and man....it didn't work for him. Needless to say he is off both of those meds now. With the Respirdol he was so tired and kept having accidents (not just one but 4-5 a day while at school). Once he was off of it this all changed.

It's amazing how what works for one doesn't work for another. But, that's why there are so many meds to choose from! And yes, we are VERY happy to be back on the Risperdal! A.
