Moving on to the 2nd week

Whew! Last week was crazy!! By the end of the week, many prayers and questions had been answered. Jack's new medicine is working wonderfully and we are praying for great results from here on out. He has had a couple of side effects from it but I think that we have those under control as well. I guess that it was to be expected that come the end of the first week of school Jack would be sick. Here it is Sunday and he has a cold. He had a very high fever yesterday and thankfully we got that under control. He is feeling a little better today but missed church so not to give it to anyone else.

It looks like Jon will be home before the end of the week. We have missed him and will be glad to have him back.

Now on to the 2nd week of school!

First Day of Kindergarten

Monday was the first day of school and Jack was very excited about going. He has a wonderfully amazing teacher and I believe that she is going to be great for him. Yesterday was a very rough day for him. After much talking with the teacher, Jon and Jack's pediatrician we decided that he needed some help in channeling his energy. We decided to put him on some medicine for kids with ADHD. Let me say these couple of things. We in no way wanted to put him on any type of medicine and at the point we were at yesterday had just about exhausted every option and avenue that we possibly could have. Secondly, the doctor did not diagnose him with ADHD. She just said that he has an excessive amount of energy and just needs something to help channel the energy.

Today was the first day of him using the medicine and it made all the difference. He had a much better day today and only got in trouble for talking at the table.

Here are some pictures from the first day:

 



The Night Before Kindergarten

Well tonight is the night before Jack's first day of kindergarten. I am so excited for my sweet little boy and the adventures that he is going to face. I can't believe that 5 years has passed and we are starting elementary school already. He is growing so fast.

We are a little sad because Jon is not here to experience it with the 2 of us. Since Jon is out of town, my mom took the first day of school off of work. I am so thankful for my mom and all of her support.

I will post more plus pictures from the first day.

For now.
