Spring break time!
This past week for Liam has been much the same. Anxiety continues to be an issue, as well as stopping him from picking his teeth. He has had a few more tantrums this week. The reason has been he has wanted to go out and play, or go to Kelly’s. It has still been cold Liam almost seems to think it is summer time. When Liam is not allowed to play after dinner he gets quite angry and has a tantrum. He will lay on the floor kicking and screaming, or banging on our windows. When we try to calm him he will start trying to kick us or scratch us. He will eventually calm down, but this has gone for up to a half hour at a time.
Thursday was a rough day for Liam. As I’ve stated, change is a difficult thing for Liam. This morning started off rough for Liam. His school bus arrived and Liam started saying “That’s not it, that’s not it”. Jill wasn’t sure what Liam was talking about as she was looking all around. Liam finally pointed to the bus and said “that’s bus 6”. Liam normally rides bus 5. His bus driver assured him everything was ok as he got on. When Liam arrived home from school he was quite upset getting off the bus. He was clinging his blanket as he got off. As it turned out, Liam was on a completely different bus style with a driver he has never seen before. The driver told Jill Liam got very upset when he got on the bus. It was no surprise that the bus changes today really bothered Liam. Liam also brought home a note from his teacher in which she stated Liam seemed very anxious today and he stated he was not feeling good. Liam took a rest before he went swimming.
When it cam time for swimming Liam was feeling much better. He insisted he take a donut with him to swimming. When they got to Lifeworks they sat down in their cafeteria so Liam could eat his donut. Jill said Liam had another great day at swimming. She said he had his lesson alone today and his attention was the best she has seen it. Liam was really working hard at the lesson he had today. Liam of course got to have his McDonald’s on the way home. Jill said there he didn’t really eat that much. Once they got home Liam insisted on having his bath right away and getting his pajamas on. When I arrived home from work around 4:45 Liam was already for bed. He was shivering when I saw him. He sat down on the chair and Jill wrapped him in a blanket. She checked his temperature and it was 103. He fell asleep after Jill gave him some Motrin. When he woke up around 8pm he wanted to sit with me in the chair. He did and within a few minutes he was sound asleep again. Who knows if he just wasn’t feeling well today, or if the whole day of changes affected him this way. We will see how he feels Friday. Hopefully he isn’t getting sick again. This would be a big damper on our plans for Sunday at the water-park resort.
