We started T. on Strattera on 2/25 – 25mg for 1 week and then 40mg.
On 2/26 his resource teacher emailed me to say he had a GREAT day, did all of his work, on his own, and participated in class. I know the med doesn’t work that fast, but it was still great news to hear and I hope this is the direction that we are headed.
I have been getting similar reports from all of his teachers weekly. They tell me he is participating in class, completing his work, and getting answers correct.
This is a message I got from his regular teacher last week…
T. has been AWESOME the past two weeks. As Mrs. O. has already stated, he is participating more in whole class activities and often answers correctly. I feel like today was a prime example. Mrs. A. was reading to the class for Book Character Day. She paused several times to ask higher order thinking questions. T. raised his hand each time. He was called on twice. On both occasions his answers were thoughtful and spot on! I told him how proud I was of him. Please reiterate to him at home how proud all of his teachers are of him!
It is always wonderful to hear positive things about your children from others but this is especially wonderful because it has been a long journey to get here. I was very against medicating him 6 months ago and have been fighting it for a LONG TIME. I am glad that I got past my issues with having him on medication and have done what is {obviously} best for him!
Hope it continues and I am so proud of him for all his hard work!
I LOVE YOU T-MAN!
