Rough week!

I have pretty much come to the conclusion that there is no help out there for Jayden. I talked to one of(well his only real friend)friends mom today and she told me that she had been through the same thing with her just a few months ago. She felt exactly the same way I did and it was hard to get her daughter the help that she needed. This friend of his also has Aspergers and ADHD and basically the same history. They are also in the same class this year. They finally got her on some meds that have really helped and the mom took some Love and Logic classes and I am definetly going to look into that. Its sad but feels so nice at the same time to know that I am not alone and that other moms have been through the same thing and have felt exactly the sameway that I do now. She sais it gets worse before it gets better and it has gotten worse so when do we get the "better" part? I feel like if I want anything done than I have to do it myself. Which is pretty much how life has always been so why should it be any different now? I am disappointed with everyone right now! The system is ridiculous. His Dr(psych) doesnt want to take him off of all of his meds, but will decrease the doses and get rid of his ADHD med. The next few weeks may be a nightmare, but we will just has to get through it. I was hoping to be able to work less now but it looks like Ive got at least 10 more weeks of picking up extras before my financial situation eases up a bit. I just want to work a little less and have my little buddy back. On the bright side, I am officially done with orienting and worked mmy 1st shift alone on saturday. I started an IV and gave blood. My IV did go bad after 10 min and I wasnt able to get the others in but hey, baby steps, right? Its a great job and I love that most of the people are super nice and are right there to help you out no matter what goes wrong.
