Way to go Hunter!!
Hunter has had an awesome week! He has had "happy Faces" all week. We are so proud of him. The Dr. put him on the lowest dose of Concerta and said we may have to raise it, but I am thrilled with it the way it is. We were hesitant to put him on any meds, but all the testing came back that he really needed help with his impulses and reactions to stimulation. He has done really well. There are still rough spots, he is a 5 year old boy with definite opinions and sibling rivalry just like always. But he seems so much happier, with none of the zombie effect we were worried about. We hope it isn't necessary to increase the meds as he becomes more accustomed to it, or as he gets older and gains weight. We will take it as it goes. So far, so good!

YEAH WAY TO GO!!!!! HOO RAH
I wish I would have known! Sorry I have not been on lately! JP and Justin both are on Concerta... JP is on the 10mg in 5th grade... it *may* have to be adjusted... not sure yet, Justin is on 2 doses of it and does great! He may be weaning off soon... but as you know, school comes first, the medicine is so impotant if it helps them in school! Dont ever feel guilty about helping your child succeed in school! if they dont need the meds then you wont see a difference... so I am sure ( especially with the family history) that you are doing the right thing :)
