Most of the kids, Preston's bday party
So since the last post not much has happened. We took Garrett to a new doc Friday hoping to get him on the right track with his meds. I loved this Doctor! He was a pediatrician for several years and has become a physiologist for children as well. So he is very thrall and asked several questions! Garrett really liked him as well. He is an older doctor and just by talking with him for 30 I can tell he's very smart and loves his job!!!! He right away agreed with me that straterra is NOT what he needed to be on and that he was not a fan of straterra for the fact that it does cause children with add/adhd to be more aggressive. He did ask A LOT of questions and informed us that he did need to be on a stimulant and gave us some suggestions. We decided to try the Ritalin patch, which is a lot more helpful to Garrett because he won't have to take pill during school hours! The doctor said also with the patch the children have a better appetite. So we get to start the patch on Monday, the pharmacy didn't have it on Friday but will have it first thing in the morning. We will let you know how it goes!
We got to take the boys to the county fair Friday night and Garrett had a lot of fun. Darin only rode a few rides, he said he was to scared to ride most of the rides. Of course Garrett and Darin both wanted to all the games the carnies had set up and it was hard to explain to them that the games were just not worth the money! We let them play a couple and Garrett quickly learned what we were saying about not worth the money, he put it as "they are cheating"! LOL Which is more than likely with carnies!
Hope all is well and would love to hear from everyone, may God Bless all of you and have a wonderful week!
