Initial school feedback in...very good

[mom md]

I recieved a phone call from my son's teacher today and of course my blood ran cold. I think I truly have PTSD. After only one week of school she said she wanted to give me an update. Last year he was dancing around the room, unable to sit in his chair, lacked focus, had tics, OCD, etc. All the things we all know so well. The teacher said today after reading his file they have been floored by what they see so far. He has not gotten up from his chair once. He has had no tics, is calm, and does not even fidget. Unbelievable.

She did say he had a few issues of impulse control in his special area classes like PE and computer and has gotten spoken to a few times. She said once or twice he seemed a little distracted or not focused but when she asked him a question he answered it correctly. She said his behavior in class has been great.

We are heading to see Latimer August 16th and I will keep everyone posted on what to expect with brain healing, etc. I am still seeing some subtle signs of PANDAS but overall at this time PEX was a success. The teacher also offered to be tested to see if she was a strep carrier. Obviously i can't ask the whole class to do that but what do you think?

Glad to hear school is off to a great start!

Wonderful, wonderful news!!! I am still in awe over the last 2 wks. of school with NO problems concerning separation anxiety or homework issues for my son. Is anyone else out there toying with the idea of making there kid where a mouth and nose mask to school??? I'm still really nervous about germs. Hope things continue to go well.

Hi, I can really relate to your blood running cold when the teacher calls. I also think I have PTSD... or rather TSD because I haven't gotten to the "post" part yet... I know when I get this all settled I'll need some help myself, after so many years of bracing myself while my son tries to interact with the world.

Congrats on the peace at school.

Yah, the idea has been floating around in my head especially with the H1N1 flu but I don't want to call anymore attention to her than necessary.

 

We've been invitied to a party on Saturday night with some friends and I don't think I'm going to take her. I can't decide what is the fine line between paranoia and keeping her from getting sick. Parents today don't seem to think anything of taking their kids out when they are sick and I just don't want to take any chances.

YEY!!!! MomMD this is GREAT news! I'd take "being spoken to a few times" any day after what you have been through--

I am thrilled for you.
