What happened on Fri

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? So much is still going on here and I

have been wanting to post about it but just did not have the energy to go

through it all! So I decided this morning I would do it!

So, on Fri I was going to s Halloween party at school! I was going to go

around 1. Well I was at Walmart shopping for the surprise treat that I was

taking and I got a call from the assistant principal, and it was about 1220!

She said hi Stacie, I hate to tell you this but we need you to come and get

. He is having a very hard time and Mrs Stampa had to restrain him for a

half hour! I was like oh boy! Mrs stampa is the teacher that was in the

meeting with us and the teacher that has for an hour or so a day and has

sped kids and only 6 in her class but higher functioning kids! This is the

class that they were thinking about moving into and we are going to observe

tomorrow even though I can tell you right now I don't agree and neither does the

psychologist from Little Friends as she confirmed to me the other day is

not high functioning and he is low functioning. People think he is high because

he is verbal. Anyhow I told her ok I am at the store getting treats for the

kids. I will be there soon! When I got out to my car I called back and asked

if he was calm now and she said yes! I said well since I am going to be there

for the party and since he is ok now can we stay and if he starts acting up we

will leave? She said the teachers thought he needed to be picked up but she

would go down and aske them and let me know when I got there! So I got there

with all my stuff for the kids! I got to the office and the principal came out

and he said we can't let him stay! He punched Mrs Stampa and left a bruise on

her face! I was horrified! He said he just can't let him stay because that is

awarding a behavior and I could understand that! I told him I would of never

asked if he could stay if I would of known that! I felt terrible! I guess he

was restrained for a half hour and Miss Jenna helped some and the principal came

and got him and took him with him for about an hour into the older kids music

classes and he was ok and liked it and he said he is gonna try to do that more!

loves music and learns by it too! Anyhow by now I am crying! I said this

is what I deal with every day and they said we know and we are going to get you

help! By this time the assistant principal was out there too! I just kept

saying I am so sorry! Now remember in the meeting Mrs Stampa and everyone said

they could not imagine acting like he does at home and with the aggression etc!

Well I guess they see it now! And just on Wed I got a note home from Mrs Lotito

the Autism specialist from the child service center and the one who works

closely with Miss Jenna and and runs the support group about how they do not see

these behaviors in school etc and then Miss Jenna wrote a note saying the same

thing! So was brought down to me and kept saying I want go party and was

crying and Mr Hickman said this is good because he is making the connection! I

gave the cookie cake I bought for the class to Miss Yirmis the assistant and the

cards for the teachers and the goodie bags for the kids and then we left both

and I in tears! We talked about good choices and bad choices with pix cues

and went home! I called his dr after I called Jim! Jim was at his grandmas

house and I was bawling! I then called his Dr and was put right through to the

nurse! Usually I have to leave a message but I was put right through and the

nurse Maureen who we just love was very supportive listened then went and talked

to the dr and called me back and she wanted me to take to get his Depekote

levels checked by bloodwork and they increased his Risperdal! He was taking .25

at bedtime! Now since sat for 3 days he was to take half a pill and the full

one at night and starting today it is a full pill in the am and a full one in

the PM! Getting his bloodwork on Sat was very upsetting and we had to get

someone else in there to help! He was very aggressive the rest of Fri that I

did not take him out trick or treating! Sat he was pretty bad too! Sun and Mon

were pretty good days! So that is what has been going on here! And also the

fact that I am not getting much in communication from Miss Jenna! I go today

for paren teacher conferences at 10! I went for s yesterday and then also

go for Lexies today at 130 and then have to vote in between those times! And

hopefully go grocery shopping! Then tonight we have our group workout with my

weightloss clinic!

Have a good day everyone!

Stacie
