September 29, 2008 The Big Day

We decided to go ahead and send Alex to school this morning as to not disrupt his daily routine before we headed out to the Dr. So I put him on the bus like normal at 7:15 and then I started my morning routine. LOL I came in and got ready and went and put gas in the car and picked up 2 gallons of milk. The 2 smallest calves have gotten the scours and we've changed them over from milk replacer to whole milk to try and fix that little problem. By the time I got all that done and got home and got Michael up we had just enough time to run down and feed all the critters and get to school to pick up Alex at 9:45. Our appointment was at 11am in Louisville and we didn't know where we were going to we made sure that we had plenty of time.

First the Dr. took Michael and I back and went over Alex's behavior at home and had us fill out a question sheet rating his behaviors. Then he told us he was going to bring Alex back. We weren't allowed to stay back there with him it was one on one with the Dr and Alex. The Dr said it would be an hour to an hour and a half and that we could go and do whatever while he was evaluating Alex. So we headed out to Lowes to shop around. I'm getting ready to redo our bathroom now so I had Michael showing me the tile that he liked ect... and we were surfing the clearance stuff.

When we got back to the Dr. we only had to wait about 15 minutes for him to finish up with Alex. He then took us back to talk about his "findings". He chuckled at first and talked about what a "spitfire" Alex was and that he was full of stories and just went a mile a minute the entire time. Got him on a good day I guess. :o) He told us what we've suspected all along that Alex is definitely ADHD. He's got all the signs. We meet with the pediatrician on Thursday to discuss medications........ Stay tuned.................
