Reece has been having a reaction to his ADHD medication. Taking him to an allergist and also to a Down Syndrome clinic for further evaluation. He's also losing his hair in the back of his head. Doctor says it's an auto-immune issue but we are also looking for more info from other docs.
If anyone has any recommendations on ADHD medication or treatment, I'm listening. If anyone has tried "The Total Transformation Method" advertised on TV and radio, I'm interested in your thoughts.
On a positive note, Alabama looked good against VA Tech Saturday night. We were a bit nervous but are happy with the win. Looking forward to the GA Tech game on Thursday night. Go Jackets!
Travel has died down for work. I am going to Philly on Monday night and tuesday of next week. Should be a good meeting.
I've been diving deeper into my Bible reading and am also studying Charles Stanley's "How to Listen to God". I've mentioned it before and it is still a great book. Combining this book with Chuck Swindoll's daily sermons on XM 170, I'm convinced that God is redirecting my life. He's given me a great job with a great company and is putting challenges in place to test my faith and obedience to follow His direction.
I recommend visiting the website for Truth for Life with Alistair Begg...great sermons and life lessons.
Be blessed. More soon.

Rich, my son (16, just happens to have DS) had reactions to several of the ADHD meds most of his reactions seemed to be more irritable, sad, not his normal self stuff. The one we had the best luck with was Focalin Xr (we are currently looking into another med, which is at this point being added to his meds with the hope that eventually we can wean him off the Focalin Xr and only have this one -- I'd have to look it up). As to the Total Transformation program, we have it, I haven't fully utilized it, yet (want my husband to watch it too as I think it would work better if both parents are on board). Primarily what I'm finding with it (and with most behavioral recommendations) is we, as parents, have to retrain ourselves. Basically, our children have trained us when we thought we were training them. (Like my boys move quicker when I yell -- they have trained me to yell before they will move. I have to retrain myself to say what I mean and mean what I say and to follow-through immediately versus giving all those warnings and then yelling.)
