thank you all so much

We finally got the results from the doc today and he has fairly profound ADHD. In her words, while he is not at the tippy top of the scale, he's up there. We are going to start 20mg Vyvanse on Friday and go from there. He has a behavior chart sent home everyday and we told him that checks were worth .10 and plus signs were worth .25 as long as he was on green or yellow. If he was on red, no money. So far, he has been on red everyday. I pulled him off the bus this week because he was going to be suspended if he got sent to the office again. They actually had to put a seat belt on the bus for him, but he kept getting so excited, he would hit the boy next to him. Here's hoping the meds work. I've heard great things about the psychologist he will be seeing in Nov, so hopefully that will help too.
