Trying to solve the fits and tantrums

The fits have continued the past couple days. We are trying to figure out why it seems so bad lately. Besides the fits and tantrums, he has also been having a tendency to whine about almost anything. After listening to it even for a short time it gets to you. Jill is home listening to it all day. When I get home she is at her end of listening to it, and I don’t blame her. One of our neighbors has even noticed Liam seem to be a lot more whiny and having some fits and tantrums. The only thing we are beginning to wonder is that Liam’s body is building up a tolerance to the risperdal. We don’t really much of a change in his behavior like we used to. We will keep going on with this and mention it to his neurologist when she sees him next in September. In the mean time, we just have to continue dealing with the tantrums.

Liam has continued to play with the new neighbor Kelly. Liam can’t wait until dinner is over to go play with her. He starts talking about her while we are eating and until it is time to go out. The past 2 days he has gotten his shoes on and just run out of the house. This behavior is something we struggle to control. His impulsivity seems to be more often too. We are attributing this to his tolerance for the risperdal. It is the only thing we can think. It is great to see Liam and Kelly play together. The two of them get along so well it is a pleasure to watch.

Not much else has happened the past couple days. Outside of what is going on above, it has been pretty quiet the past couple days. Jill had carpal tunnel surgery done on her left hand last week. I stayed home to help her since she can’t use the hand yet, and her right hand is still no where near the strength it should be. This has only made handling all the boys while I am at work harder for her. She has been doing quite well considering how she is feeling. The recovery time from carpal tunnel surgery takes a long time. Her doctor has even said her hands were very bad. The doctor has also said to expect a longer recovery time due to the severity of her hands.
