Hello everyone. Hope you are doing well. We have moved from Beaufort to Charleston. It is nice here. A lot like Raleigh. Very big. Lots of traffic. Zach is in the first grade and doing well. He takes Adderal twice a day and Risperdal at night. He uses a nose spray to help with the wetting problem. He is maturing but he still has behavioral issues. He is a sweet boy. I will update the picure soon. How is everyone doing?

Hello everyone. Had a few moments today to stop in and say hello. I am still working in the pharmacy business. Zachary is in Kindergarten and doing okay. He still has his problems. The only meds he takes now is the Zyprexa at night. He is learning in school. He still has lots of wetting accidents. I think he forgets to stop and go to the bathroom. He doesn't listen to anyone when we talk to him. He is still on his own planet. But, I love him and I let him know that every day. I hope one day that Zach will emerge from the cloud that looms over him and that we will have a normal relationship. I hate to see the way other children look at him. The way they run in the other direction when they see him coming. It truly sadens me. I pray for him and for our family. Also, being that my husband is in the Marines, time draws closer that he may be sent overseas. I just ask that anyone out there that reads this, will pray for us. Thank you.

Hi folks. How is your summer. I really don't have much time online anymore. I truly miss it. I especially miss reading all your stories, and especially miss my Dream site. I truly enjoyed it. With four children and a full time job, things are just so hectic. Not much time for many things. Hope everyone is doing well. Have a great summer!!!

Hello everyone. Sorry that you haven't heard from me lately. I have been under so much stress that I ended up in the hospital myself. I was walking thru the grocery store when I felt a tingling in my left foot. The feeling slowly moved up my leg, leaving numbness behind. I could not use my left leg at all. Then it kept moving up the left side of my body. Up thru my hip, my chest, and into my neck. Then it moved down my arm. By this time I was freaking out. Chris called 911. I was completely numb on my left side. When it moved into my face, my tongue was numb like I had a shot of novicaine. EMS arrived and took me to the nearest hospital. I had two CT scans, a MRI, a MRA, a corrotted artery doppler scan, you name it. They told me that I have atypical migraines that cause temporary paralysis. I also have high blood pressure. I have to take lots of meds now. I spent a few days in the hospital and I am taking it easy now. I am glad to be back and alive. I missed you guys!!

Have a great weekend.

Hi again. Zachary is home now. He did okay at the hospital. They have put him on several types of Ritalin. We had a pretty good day today. No time-outs. We are just taking it one day at a time. Thanks for your support. It means alot to me that you all read my site.

Zachary hasn't been doing that great. We had to put him at University Hospital in Augusta last night. He will be there for at least the next week. The are doing a new evaluation. See if maybe there is a new drug alternative. Zachary has his ups and downs. The goal is to get him more regulated so that he can attend Kindergarten next year. We also want him to able to play with the other kids on the playground without having to drag him kicking and screaming into the house because he hits, or bites, or take toys from other children. He is such a smart kid. But yet he cannot control his impulses. He cannot calm himself down when he is upset. It truly makes me sad that I am helpless and that I cannot do anything to make my baby better. It is truly a sad day.

Not a good week. Zach has been sick, and when he is he gets out of whack. Extremely to say the least. My mom is still living here with us. She has a real hard time with Zach in the afternoons after school. When I get home, everyone is so uptight, I am afraid to ask questions or even talk in my own house. I called Zach's doctor and I hope that we can find meds and strength to get him under control. Keep us in your prayers.

Nothing new to report. Zach is doing pretty good. Had to increase his meds in order to keep him from being so hyper. Other than that, a pretty good week.

Had a good week. (knock on wood) Zach did well in school and got along with everyone at home too. He misses me now that I am working. Very klingy when I get home. It is hard to be away from the kids so much. But yet, Zach seems to be doing okay. Maybe it was good for us all.
