Let's Try this school thing again!

So as of yesterday JD is back in public school. I tried my best to get all my ducks in a row with the school so he could have a successful school experience again. Fingers crossed that it works. He should be fine for the next 30 days because they have to keep him in the sped (RIN) class 100% of the day. We will have an ARD on February 14 and I'm sure at that time they will want to throw him right into gen Ed only time will tell.

Thank God the "holiday" is over!

So after kinda holding it together during the holidays JD started to fall apart at the seams on 12/27 then by 12/29 I had had enough and felt the safest place for him was the psy hospital so at 4 as he raged on and on Thursday the 29th I ended up calling CC to see if they had a bed for him and they said yes they would have one at 7 pm so I called the sitter packed his bag while he followed me around the house screaming saying he was going to hit me and tear down the house got all the other kids settled in with the sitter got him loaded in the van and drove an hour away to CC we got there right at 7 (I gave him his night meds) then we settled in a tiny little room to start the paper work an hour and a half later the nurse came into the little room and said the psydoc on call had reviewed the paperwork and he was not in need of a hospital stay after all. WTF? The reason they gave was he did not hurt himself or me this time so go home and if he hurts you bring him back. NICE nothing like being sent home with a child that could try to kill you next time he rages. Anyway night meds kicked in dad was home the next 3 days so I could stay on top of things with JD and he started to be more stable. At least until the next time :(
