Ainsley had her first dose of Methylin yesterday. It was the tiniest amount. In fact, if I had given her any less, it would have been air. But it was enough to get her started.
I noticed a slight improvement in her attention for about 45 minutes. She really had it together during that time. The thing I liked most about it was that she wasn't YELLING! She was excited about what she was doing and who she was with, but it was a pleasant excitement. She followed directions and maintained her focus on the activity before her. It was beautiful!
Today she will get two doses as we begin to increase in small increments the amount she receives by 1cc every couple of days. It is nice to see her wonderful personality shine through without the distortions of ADHD.
Now, if I could just get rid of the monsters in her room at night so she will sleep in her own bed!

Ugh- Jaysen has the same sleeping issues, only there are no monsters. He's "just scared". He told me I have to sleep with him, even when he's a grown up. Yes...that will be how i know I've truly gone to hell.
