Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Danita, Thank you so much for your message. Actually, things here are back to normal - NEVER has this happened so quickly. Max was discharged on Saturday afternoon and back in school by Monday for a full day. Last spring, if you don't recall, he was not able to go back to school fulltime for the rest of the year! Really, I don't want to keep bringing this up, but I just have to now. Max is changing and changing each day. It is so much fun to be with him and to watch him maturing. I took him to the movies yesterday as a surprise (we have no school because of the NJ Teacher's Convention) and the vocabulary he used in our conversations was amazing. I know that Max has a lot of catching up to do. He is by no means at the same level as an uninvolved 16 year old, but he is catching up. Now we are having terrible problems with our 19 year old daughter. She is a mess - failing out of college, lying to us, and depressed as all get out. We are making her come home and get counseling and medication. She needs us right now and we have to be there for her, even if it breaks our hearts to watch her go through this and to think of the $20,000+ we wasted on her college semesters. I think between being the sibling of a special needs child, a person with ADD herself and just freaking about being on her own, it was too much to handle. I'm getting too old for this. But, as usual, we will carry on. Jodi Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
