Update on Alex

Well God once again has come to our rescue. We got a call last night that there was an opening for Alex to see the Psychologist today(Wed) & then go to counseling tomorrow(Thurs). So we took it . Today went great . When the Doc asked Alex why Mommy brought him 2 c her he said" Cause I'm ugly yo her" Then the Doc asked him why he gets mad at me & acts ugly & he said "Cause she tells me no" Well at least he told the truth. I guess none of us like being told NO. So anyway, the doc talked to him by himself for 30 min & then Alex played with some toys in the room while me & the doc talked. He only tried to interrupt 2 times which was great. Jason & I can hardly carry on a conversation with each other with out Alex screaming to get our attention. She said she doesn't see any signs of A.D.D or A.D.H.D because if he was, he wouldn't have been able to entertained himself for that length of time with out some kind of wondering off or getting bored with the toys. However she saw MANY signs of him being strong willed & advanced in some areas. Harder to deal with now but probably very successful later in life.

But pray for us because the counseling is part for me to learn how to be a better parent to a strong willed child & for him to learn behavior management. She also wants Jason & I to alternate taking care of a different child each night so they realize that we work together, not one taking on any role more than the other. This keeps Alex from thinking only Mommy can do it. he also wants us to give him Benadryl every night for 10 nights to set a sleep pattern. 10 days in our bed, 10 days on a pallet on the floor in our room & then to his bed for 10 days.


However he has had a fever virus/vomiting on and off since Monday night. He seems ok during the day then WAM! 103.0 & up temp & vomiting. I took him to the after hrs clinic Tues Night but they said it would run its coarse. Lift him up that he feels better& that no one else gets it.

We also need u to continue to pray that Gods will be done about the house. Everything seems to be falling into place. We do need a buyer for our house so let me know if u know someone looking to buy in McCalla. We finish picking out our colors & final choices Sat so PRAY<>

Love,
Brandi
