Another episode in the never ending saga that is my life...
Lanie saw the doctor on Monday and he put her on a very low dose of Tenex. We actually started it on Tuesday evening. Tuesday during school Lanie got in trouble yet again for hitting and kicking. They even got a portion of it on video. It amazed me because Lanie is never that way at home! She has never even tried to hit or kick one of us. And has never acted that way to her sister or her cousins. After that we thought that maybe we should just take her out of school for the year and start her back next year, but after starting her on the Tenex for a full day yesterday, we rethought the decision. She was so mellow and good that she went back to school today. We will see how it goes on the medication before we make such a huge decision.
Last night we were on our way to group therapy and got stuck in traffic just before the bridge into St. Charles. We sat on highway 70 until 5:00 (I left the office at 3 and picked her up before 3:15). We decided to just get on 270 and go home. It then took us another hour and 45 minutes to get home! So Lanie was trapped in the car with me for 3 1/2 hours and was amazing! She did not argue with me or whine. She ate all her snacks we had for group and even when she had to go potty she did not whine about it. She fell asleep about the last 45 minutes and when we got home she was very cooperative about taking a shower, eating and getting ready for bed. The best evening we have had in a very, very long time! I am so hoping that she does well at school today. I really want her to finish out the year.
We have another group therapy session tonight. I am really hoping the traffic is better tonight than it was last night.
