A few months ago I wrote a blog post about making the very difficult decision to put our son on ADD medicine. Throughout the last several months there have been a few days where we have questioned is this the right decision for our son, but in all honesty, those times have been very infrequent. We have seen our son go from a child who was extremely frustrated because he had such a difficult time understanding his school work, learning and controlling his behavior to a child whose self-esteem has sky-rocketed and who truly LOVES school.
Today he brought home his third report card this year. He has brought up his reading grade from a B- to an A. His other grades all came up and for the first time he made straight A's including a 100% average in math. Almost more amazing to me is his bringing up his conduct grade to an A+. When we put him on medicine we just hoped to not get such frequent reports of misbehavior. But to get NO reports of misbehavior is such a blessing.
I am so grateful that others are seeing in my son what I have always known was there but he just struggled so much to show the world. We are continuing to evaluate things and we don't know that we will always keep him on medicine, but for now we are staying the course. I can't wait to see what he does with his very bright future!
Praise the Lord!
