Progress

Since last year during the middle of the school season when we were diagnosed with ADHD and Aspergers, we have been in therapy. (we being me and Kane) Kane has had two wonderful but very different therapists. One who has had me learning to live with Kane's quirkiness and read endless volumes of books. And one who has said, do this, it will fix this, then we do this, then this.. and has been very on the ball with changing or redirecting bad habits. Believe me we both had bad habits.
We also have been medicated. Kane has been on Concerta for over a year now and aside from the appetite issues the medication does a great job of keeping him at an even level daily.

After a year of this, the end of Kindergarten, a long summer we have come to the First grade. I was afraid of starting school. I met with the therapists. Had long talks preparing Kane. Had meetings with the new kids in his room and we met his teacher. I did what i could, to prepare him as much as possible and to calm my nerves.

School started with him coming down with pneumonia and missing the first full week of school! What a sad boy who was so excited to get on the bus and go to see his new friends and here he was unable to even go. When he did get to go back to school he was elated. And much to my surprise he has not had a single bad day since.
We just had our last app with the therapist and he said that unless we have an issue he does not need to see us back in his office!!! Kane is still a work in progress but every day is a new one and we have been overcoming our challenges as we go.

I need to keep faith.
