We met with the first of two new Dr's for Ian. Really, nothing new to report. She suggested picture schedules and rewards. We've tried this before, although, it was a long time ago, And, I wasn't very consistent. I told her I would try again and I will. I'm just not sure how much he understands. I know they do these at school and honestly I have no idea how he responds to it. So, we will try. Next week we meet with a psychiatrist for a med evaluation. I am anxious yet hopeful about the coming months. Maybe the new school, Maybe it's Doctor's that I feel good about or maybe just me being better adjusted (and on new meds) that has me feeling good about things. Recently the Relief Society (an organization in my church) asked if they could bring a meal in once a week. It was extremely hard to say yes without feeling pathetic. I feel, for the most part, that I am holding it together. I know it was done out of love and they just want to help but I want to be the one helping! I want to be bringing meals in or helping with others kids. I guess maybe it's just not my season. Shannon and Jayne forgot about taking Ian on Monday and it was ok...I made it through the day without a meltdown. Maybe I'm just getting stronger... Maybe I'm just getting numb...whatever works right?

2 people not afraid to say something:
What meds is Ian on? And no I believe that you are a wonderful mother!!! Just remember that the Lord promised he would not give you more then you can handle, and that he has you in his arms carrying you through the hard times. I see that in my own life all to many times. It is only after the fact that I realize that it was Christ that got me through that mess. Hold on and know that through Christ everything will come!!!
Angi, I can't imagine how hard it was for you to say yes to meals. But I can testify that those serve you will develop a deeper bond of love toward you and your family. That's probably what you need more than anything, right? You are getting stronger...which is amazing because you're already SO strong.
