A, that is sooo cool! I know what a big thing that is for you and Russell! Sounds like the medicine is helping, hope it continues and you have more surprises in store for you! Oh, and I just wanted to say I found that SOOOO funny that he won't eat his bars if they're not in perfect form! Lol! ;D

I am THRILLED that you are seeing improvements with the meds. A friend of mine commented to me on Erin's behavior the other day.....and said something I hadn't really thougt of or considered......she said " If Erin's constant motion, energy, and behaviors were exhausting and overwhleming for YOU......and you are happy to have the "calm".....imagine how happy Erin must be to not have that out of control enrgy and how much she must welcome the "calm"....... Of course I put her on meds to HELP her.....but I never really thought of how it must FEEL to her.....and never considered how exhausting she must have felt keeping up with herself ! I predict you are going to be seeing so much more improvements from this boy !! Erin's speech, eye conact, and communication has grown with leaps & bounds.....she even sits and reads books with me now !!

Wow, that Risperdal is doing some great things for Russell!
I'm so thrilled that he is signing, and using communication to make his needs known. He has made some amazing strides in the last year or so, you guys should be so proud!!!

oh I am so happy to hear about this A....I think communication is one of the hardest parts with DS. We all want to understand and be understood by our kids and sometimes it takes forever for that to happen. But when it does it is all so wonderful, isn't it?
Maybe for Russell this is a real beginning. I don't know this drug but if it helps I am so happy for you all and Russell too.
