Well.... here I am... lol. Things been hectic lately. Had a mental health screening for Cam monday... Have to go back Dec 6th to do an assessment with a case manager to see if we can get him into the child psychologist there to see if we can get some help with some meds that won't make him (more) aggressive, or paranoid. Im mentally and emotionally exhausted from this ride already with all the "I dont know's" The "Im sorry we can't do anythings" and the "Are you sures" -___-;;; Im hoping next week will open some doors... they said they had a therapist there at mental health who would be willing to see Cameron, but they are very against medicine and would probably not sit with me well since im trying to FIND him medicine.. I've went the homeopathic route, i've went the therapy route... im not one of those moms who just wants to medicate to not deal.. its what i HAVE to do to help him since the other forms aren't working, so i don't want to go to someone else who is telling me im doing something wrong with MY child. Ugh.. sorry rambling...
On an upside... I called Cam into school today due to him not sleeping real well last night and his teacher told me they have been trying a new form of education with him (i dont remember the term she used) where he will go to another room while the rest of the kids do their centers, and he and a parapro work in a quiet room and its a box and he has to open it, do the activity in it (sorting, counting, etc.) and then put it all backand put the lid on it and work on another box. He has to do 3 boxes (5-7 minutes each) before he gets his "break" (his unwind time so he's not too stimmed) and she said its been working well for Cam in the short time they've been going this route.. so it was nice.. and she made me cry (she didn't know this) when she told me... "We are finally getting a glimpse of the old Cameron, the one who was happy to be here" :'( Thats all I want... I want him happy, and enjoy life and school and not have to go through it so anxious and upset and just unhappy.
Quoting ×ø×K·ßear×ø×:" well im glad they are seeing more of the old happy cam and i hope it keeps up"
Amen me too... we were all lost there for a second on how to make his school life enjoyable/bearable because for the last few months he's been either hitting himself or screaming at the top of his lungs because he's scared to go into a room they are going into. we all were at a loss of what to do
