Day two on new meds

Today marks the second day that Cody has been on his new meds. So far we've had no side effects. No decrease in appetite, no tiredness at school and no anger like previous days. So far things are looking up. Only one thing...no huge results with the hyperactivity so that's either telling me that the dosage may be too low or it's not working. We are hopeful that the dosage is too low. We will be able to increase it in a few days. Lets keep our fingers crossed!!

Next bit of good news is that I found this summer camp that is offered to kids with ADHD. It's called Quest Camps and is directed by what seems to be a very well qualified Psychologist. I spoke to her today and already got Cody all registered. They do 36 hours of therapeutic exercises made into a day camp. They also have little outings to Knotts Berry Farm, Wild Rivers, The Aquarium of the Pacific and other little adventures. The camp is located in Huntington Beach and we are very excited for Cody. I think it sounds like a lot of fun. We were contemplating putting him into the after school/summer program at school just for the socialization practice but this will be much more productive. The camp has research and is backed by studies that have shown these kids have great improvements made in a summer. I had to fill out a very detailed questionnaire about Cody's behavior and goals to make at home and at the camp. They have a good reward system too. They also do some type of therapy sessions through rock climbing...interesting in the least. We are very excited also that it will keep him busy for 6 weeks (give me some rest time)in the summer and make some new friends. Above and below are a couple of the pictures from the website.
