my Darling son.

i have always known that my son is more hyper than other kids. I've even had people tell me he should be on meds since he was 2 yrs old. But no matter how hyper he is he's always been such a sensitive soul. He adores his grandma and his momma. School has not been easy. Pre-K was so-so. Towards the end, they changed his teacher and everything went crazy. So I figured he did'nt do well with change.  Well kinder was a nightmare. I was on a first name bases with the office. Everyone was quik to complain. He started 1st grade this year and it appeared it would be the same. Its was'nt just about behavior. He still could not read nor write. I was the one who finally asked them to refer him to testing. It came back positive to a learning dissabilitie. So he's now in resource class. But his behaviors were still bad. This Wednesday I got a call from the dr. He told me he had ADHD. We agreed that we would put him on a low dose med.Its called Focalin 5mg.He started on friday. I am so upset. The educated part of me says if it will allow him to sit and learn then it will benfit him in the long run. But the mom in me is so devastated. Everyone tells me I am doing the right thing. I hope so. He's already on med for eczema, asthma, and allergies. I try to do so much for him but I keep wondering if I'm doing enough. I 'm going to trainings that the school sent me to. I just don't want to end up losing my son to the meds. He's so loving and sensitive. He's constantly telling me how much he loves me. Or hugging me. If anyone knows any info on this med please let me know. Thanks.
