We went to see Aiden's pediatrician today to talk about all of the options that we have in helping him with his ADHD. As a group (Chris, Dr. Del and I) we decided to put him on a long lasting stimulant. It was a hard choice and we are a little nervous about it but we trust Dr. Del and spent a loooooooong time talking with her and feel this is a good start. We should see results in 3 days, even though we will be gone we will keep in close contact with her about any concerns we have. In one week we get back to her no matter what about his progress and to see if we need to tweak the dosage any. Then in 1 month we go back for a visit. Next summer we will try taking him off to see if he can do without and will continue like that for as long as we need to. If the stimulant doesn't work we will try anti-anxiety meds as those seem to work better for kids that have ADHD with an anxiety component. So it is still wait and see but we are moving forward.
