Update on Lou ♥♥

Overall Lou is Doing EXCELLENT ! 

I really do not have any bad stuff to write. Lou is currently being very HYPER for the past week or so. I'm thinking it might be due to the full moon that just passed and the cold weather that might be possibly causing it. 

Today he actually went and got a hair cut at GreatClips. And he did extremely well. He was a little nervous but that was to be expected. He did really well thou. His favorite part was the hair dryer. Its always calms him down.

Hes doing really well in school. He is learning SOO MUCH more this year then last year. I don't know if thats because they brought it down to his level or rather or not its because he's growing up.

Over the past few weeks i've noticed that hes starting to become that adolescent child who is starting to become the teenager. Which is really sad to me since he JUST turnt 10. 

This year he wanted to have his party at CI-CI'S so that was different then Chuckee Cheeses. But he really had a ball. He loved the different kind of pizzas and the little bitty game room. 

But i'll be back later to update more :) Until then.

ADHD Isnt real..... EXCUSE ME??!

im so tired of seeing posts that says "ADHD isnt real" or my new favorite one "When i was a kid there was no such thing as a behavioral problem they were called a spoiled little brat" 
Well heres the thing. The reason why there wasnt no such thing as ADHD is because IT DIDNT EXIST. so yes it wasnt there. BECAUSE they didnt find it until the late 1980s, yes they can PROVE that adhd is real and that a child has it based on a Brain Scan. 
Now the behavioral problem:: If there wasnt such a thing called a behavioral problem then tell me why a NONADHD person can take ridilin or methlyphenidate or any other adhd medicine, and it treats em like they are on crack or coke or another speed drug. but when a person who has ADHD take the adhd prescribed medication it slows them down.Or a adhd person can drink a cup of coffee or can take caffiene or eat sugar (you know the stuff that is suppost to speed you up) it normally slows them down......

Now why it aggravates ME!! 
When your youst to having around a happy smiley child you know everything is ok. You literally have no worries. But what if that child somehow wakes up one morning and gets frustrated over the littlest thing. If they drop a cup of milk, spill a bowel of cereal, or well just busts out crying for no reason what so ever.And yes the two above they happen before the crying meltdown. Sometimes you can not cheer them up with in 20 secs. its not a "stop or imma give you something to cry about"  or something else along them lines. They can not help it. It scares them. and what about for the ones who has more then ADHD ?! you know that thing called Anxiety. or another indivisible illness. 

If you see a child going into a meltdown or throwing a fit. walk up to them. sometimes it can take the littlest thing to throw a child out of a meltdown. or to calm their fears.
I remember and i still have to tell lou this when we walk into walmart "Nobody is going to hurt you, if they do you have the permission to slap them" or i'll tell him that i will slap them. and then he'll start to smile because he knows everything is ok. When you see us inside of Walmart he is NOT walking hes sitting in the "car buggy' as he calls it. it secures him. and sometimes hes on my phone listening to music and yes sometimes hes singing along and sometimes im singing right there with him. 

Adhd is rough and Anxiety is tough but its worth it. When you let the little one know everything is ok and even strangers comes up and see whats going on and (normally its the older generation to come up because they know that something isnt right) it lets both parties sees the blessing that comes with it.

Lou is 9 years old who gets confused with being a 12 or 13 year old. hes talks like a 15 year old but has the mind as a 2-3 year old and he is my world Along with my other little brother Sam. Sam does VERY good with him, you'll even hear Sam (who is 8) tell him "Its ok Lou i wont let no one hurt you" Sam will comfort him when he can tell something isnt right. When the adhd is kicking in. 

Adhd isnt just about being hyper. Its about being hyper, wanting attention and not just wanting it but NEEDS it. he thrives on it. and it helps with the invisible illness. Lou will also find comfort in sitting on the floor inside of a grocery store when they dont have the "car buggy" so if you see us inside of a store and were stopped in a aisle 9 out of 10 times you will see him sitting on the floor. And when you see a child sitting on the floor dont say "eww thats gross they shouldnt let their child sit on it"  Well guess what IF IT COMFORTS THEM LEAVE THEM BE !!! sitting on the floor never hurt nobody. as long as the child isnt sitting in harms way then its alright.

This post is longer then what i planned on but thats ok.I hope everyone gets a little insite on ADHD and i hope you dont judge a child so quick next time you see a child not acting right in public. Theres a difference in a child with adhd and a child that isnt adhd. Sometimes you can tell the difference and sometimes you cant. Just dont judge the child. As a cashier and as someone who lives and takes care of a special needs adhd little boy a person judging a child or says "if that child was mine...." it irritates me so bad and all i can say is "i dont judge kids and most of the time they ask why and i tell them and they understand. but judging a child it just shouldnt happen. 

weird headaches and alot of other stuff.

It started right after before the solar storm started. Lou complained about headaches, being tired and even throwing up. the throwing up was from a stomach bug but everything else i believe is from the solar storm.

well that was before this past week and this week (today)

Lou has being very weird these past two weeks. and i dont take "weird" litely when it comes to him. I mean he'll be extremely hyper and then suddenly bolt back down and pratically fall asleep (he did take 45 min nap today he hasnt done that since he was like 3-4.
I dont want to be scared about it but i honestly dont know what todo when it comes to him. i know that all i can do is PRAYand keep my faith in him always.
please keep lou in your prayers and we will of course keep yal updated on how our hydrowarrier was with him :)

Another headache day 2

Once again another headache. Not as bad as yesterdays but i dont like it in the least. Sometimes i wonder 'Why cant i just have to worry about a silly little cold or Silly ol virus ?! ' but then i come to senses this little boy is much much stronger then that. hes my lil fighter and my aggravating lil brother. Yes i would love for him to be 'normal' but hes my rock and my Hero. Hes been thru so much and still striving like nothing is happening and whats 'unfair' to some is 'normal' for him.

Neurologist appointment!

Last Tuesday Lou had his Neurologist appointment to discuss his EEG results that he had back in Early December. Dr Livingston said that they are POTENTIAL seizures, meaning they could be but we are not to sure. He is Very high to have them thou. Since he hasnt had one in about a week or so he wants us to try to record them when he has his 'episodes' and if they do continue or start to pick up again he wants us to admit him into the hospital for about 2 days so they can do a Video EEG. but the only way that will be certain for us to catch them then is if we keep him up like we did for the EEG. 

He did look at his CT Scans from his infant years and his most recent ones from 2 years ago and he said he is doing amazingly good! He complmented on us saying we doing a Excellent job with him. 

According to Dr Livingston he is not suppost to be doing everything he does from the reads of the scans. So that itself is a BLESSING. 

but if they are still continuing with in a year then we go back. or if they start getting closer together or start getting stronger for any reason then he wants Lou to be seen right away. 

Just keep Lou in your prayers as hopefully this is the last of our Journey with petite Mal seizures then rather it be just the beginning! Thankyal so much !
