Hi,
I haven't had a chance to post this week because there has been so much
going on with me daughter Kathryn. She has been out of school since
January 3rd due to hospitalization for seizures and pneumonia in
January and a fear of going since then. Monday she went to school with
her mom for the morning and we hoped that all would be fine. Tuesday
she "shut down' and we couldn't get her off to school. Her doctor
added Klonopin and said she should be al set for school Wednesday. Well, Thursday morning it took us 3 hours to get her to go with us to
school. She stayed for the morning only. Thursday was hell and she
became agitated. A truant officer tried for 2 hours with no luck. The
officer said that it looked to her as if she had a lot of medical,
emotional, and mental issues. her Klonopin was then increased. Since
then she has been off the wall. Her behavior goes from cheerful to
agitated at the drop of a hat. We have an appointment with a
psychiatrist next Tuesday. I think that by forcing her to go to school until we knew what the real
problems were pushed her too far. I only hope that the school backs off
and that he doctors can help. It is as if we have lost the child we
knew. I only hope that we can get her back to being happy again.
Ted
