Hasn't been a week yet...
It's already a nightmare!!! We are at the point in the clinical trial where we are "coming off" the medicine. Hubby is still not convinced that he wasn't on the placebo. After the 30 minute meltdown at dinner because of seating issues. We were playing musical chairs at dinner. He is having sleep issues again, he got up at 5:30 am this morning AHHH. That's suppose to be my "quiet time" well not today. He has been difficult all morning, I wonder how he feels, he can't really tell me how he feels. I am just counting the days until March 22, 2012 that's when we go back to Vanderbilt and we can "for sure" get on the medicine. It helped him SO much in alot of different areas communication, behavior, interactions with others, eating new foods, reading I know that when we get on the medicine he is going to continue to excel.

The Fun has Already Started & Proud Moment
Well we went to Vanderbilt and it's time to come off the medicine OMG he is already starting some of the old behaviors already. After he got up this morning it was about 5 minutes later I hear him crying I get back upstairs to see what's wrong and he screams, hits me and says my DS turned off. Then he started crying again because I didn't understand what he was trying to tell me he got REALLY upset and started screaming at me. I guess this is the way it is going to be the next month this SUCKS! But knowing that after this month we can get on the medicine will hopefully help me get through it.
He has been a WILD CHILD today, surely this isn't what to expect for the next month. A have been like a crazy person today too, may be that's what wrong he is sensing that I am out of sync today. Other times he is the sweetest thing, come to me and tells me how much he loves me!!!
He has started to "lie" I can't believe it,(what a proud moment) he doesn't want me to throw anything away, so he got some paper plates out of the trash. I started to close it and noticed the plates were missing, i asked Noah if he has them, "No No I don't have them I didn't get them out of the trash." I told him what he was doing was lying and he looked puzzled, so I said you have to tell Mommy what you did that's called the truth. So he went and go them for me to throw away. I hope we don't end up on that TV show Hoarders LOL!!!!!

He said what??
At the dinner table last night, Savannah & Noah were "talking" about different colors, so Savannah asked Noah what's your favorite color?? Noah said. "Purple" (which we already knew) She then asked, "What's your second favorite color?" (I wasn't sure he understood what that meant) He thought for a second and then said, "Green." WOW!
I had to prompt him but he asked, "What's your favorite color?" Savannah said. "Blue." So I thought great job, then Noah blurted out, "What's your second favorite color?" AWESOME, no prompting an appropriate response no help!! I was SO PROUD of him & Savannah!!
I just feel that all success we have been experiencing lately is because of the "medicine" that we are on in the clinical trial. We go back this week and we come off the medicine gradually over the next month. I don't really know what to expect. I pray the behaviors we were experiencing BEFORE do not come back full force!! Praying daily about this!!
