Friday- Another New Day
After much deliberation over the last week or so I decided last night that Aaron would never take Adderall again. When he came home from school yesterday he practically had no skin left on his little thumb. I cleaned it carefully and told him I would never give him that horrible medicine again. Then we hugged and he told me he loved me. I know that even at the young age of 5 he has the wisdom to know that that medication did not make him feel good and was not good for his body. I only wish that I could have been as wise as he was. Who knows what unspeakable damage I have done to him with these past 5 months of amphetamines in his system. I can only hope that with sound nutrition and supplementation I can repair the damage that has been done. These drugs should be taken off the market in my opinion. Statistics show that more than 85% of the children on stimulant medications for ADHD have been misdiagnosed and a simple clean-up of the diet would have had a much better effect.
My course materials came yesterday and I can only say that I am truly impressed with the quality of the texts and education that I am going to recieve. The handbook says that I have two years to complete the course but honestly I could see myself doing it in about 6 months. I am somewhat of a speed reader with good retention..and there are few written assignments to turn in. Just a quz at the end of each course which is open book and a final exam, a thesis, and a book report, and 5 case studies, with 5 additional case studies. Oh and I have to make my own herbal preparation..not too bad.....Since it is a topic I am most interested in(alternative and natural medicine) I see myself breezing through it..
Anyways I have a lot to do today..Gotta get Bart off to the dentist and get the kids up and make breakfast and I may be getting the Sony Vaio back today..Hooray!!!
Catch ya later..
