[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 224889, member: 3444"] He's been very cooperative this afternoon. I let him play his Runescape while easy child and I went out to shop for her annual Christmas ornament. We were only gone about 90 minutes. I got off the computer when I asked him just now and he's outside sweeping up some leaves that I asked him to do twice earlier today. Terry, he takes 20mg Focalin first thing in the morning. It wears off after 4 hours. About an hour after he takes that, we put the Daytrana patch on because it takes so long to kick in and is finally working by the time the Focalin wears off. He gets about 9 hours of coverage from the patch, so he won't be up all night (he finally put the patch on around 10:30 this morning). :) Heather, I think he is a wee bit depressed. Maybe he needs to bump the Lexapro up a notch.... we just added Inderal in the mornings because he was shutting down in some of his classes because of anxiety and not getting work done. Monday we see his GI for a quarterly check-up to monitor his Crohn's. That seems to be doing o.k. right now, but I know it can affect his mental outlook as well when he's not feeling well. What can I say, he's got a lot going on with him. mother in law volunteered to take him to sister in law's house to spend the night since we are all going over to sister in law's house tomorrow for a holiday party and "surprise" visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus (they do this every year, and my kids are all convinced he is the real deal). It will be a nice break for difficult child 1 and for me :D I'm going to call the therapist on Monday and see if we can get in before our psychiatrist appointment next month. [/QUOTE]
