Marsel Update

 The tummy thing was a one time deal. He's felt good. On Wednesday, his teacher wrote a note about what a great day he had. Joel had told me not to write her a note that he wad taking anything. He wanted to see if they would notice a difference on their own. And tonight was the last football game - they won. But that's not the point. After we left, the coach's wife called me. She wanted me to tell Joel ho well Marsel did tonight. (Joel is working, so he missed it. And Marsel got a touchdown!) She said they were in the car talking and Rob wanted Joel how well he played. He was more focused and it was like he finally got what it was that he was suppose to be doing. Kinda sucks that he got on the last game. :)
 To be honest, I was worried on Tuesday. I was thinking, what have I done to this child? I don't want his stomach to hurt all the time. I was doubting what I thought was right. And the whole reason I thought this was the right thing to do was I don't want him to get further in school and not do well. It's only going to get harder and the kids will get meaner. The teacher had told us that they were already saying things to him. About how he interrupts and bothers them. I didn't want this to keep happening. Especially since he can't help. (Yes, I'm defending myself. Can't help it. Every time I speak to some one about this, one person says you're doing the right thing. Then the next will say, whatever you do don't put him on medicine. So I feel like I'm doing right, but every now and then some doubt sneaks in.) 
 So that's the scoop.

Glad to hear he is feeling good... and both comments were positive from the teacher and the football lady.

I drink beer... and coffee for that matter.... and I breastfeed! Some would tell me I'm wrong for doing that.... but whatever.... to each their own.

Just as with this and Marsel.
You're doing what you think is best for him... try no to be to hard on yourself for that.

It doesn't mean ths is the final answer (maybe it is)... but at least you are taking action on improving an issue that has been lingering...
