I took Younger Boy for his psychiatric med check this afternoon.  So much for being sick.

We talked about the falling asleep in school and the lack of sleep at night.  She made a suggestion about his nighttime meds for us to try.

We also talked about his overall spaciness.  She asked what time of day it occurs.  Geesh...I don't know...all the time.

She suggested giving him caffeine.  She said it has the same effects as meds in ADHD kiddos.  She cautioned not to do it later in the evening, because of adverse effects on sleep.  She suggested he may need to have some in the nurse's office at school.  Great...another parent of the year award for me.

We'll try it.  At this point what do we have to lose.
