Sounds like what boys at that age do when angry or hurt & are helpless to fix things.

He can't re- paint the door at his age. Maybe he should give money to the school to fix the door? If he has $12 he has been saving to buy something, then most or all of it? He should present it to the principle himself ( call first, of course).

Maybe he can talk with the school counselor?

Also, is there anyway to wear him out more? Activity? I find that boys with lots of physical activity are too tired, even at school, to bother with the sneakiness, planning, etc to pull stuff off. I think the exercise makes them happier, too.

He is going to be working with the custodian today to wash the doors. He swims and does gymnastics 2x a week, then on the off days, I take them out for walks, bikerides, trips to the park, etc... Usually by the end of the day he's falling asleep in the car. He's in bed between 730-8pm every night, so sleep isn't an issue either. I proposed to Jesse today that we change his custody schedule so that he's at one house more often to be more consistant. right now it's 2 days at my house, 2 days at Jesse's and we split every other weekend. I think that it's hard for him bc he has no idea where he's going every day. He told me that he wants to stay with me and not daddy, but I can't talk to Jesse about that. I don't have a good feeling that Jesse will be accomidating, but I'm praying really hard that he will keep an open mind... He will think I'm trying to take Max away from him. Grrrr :(

I thought about the school councelor too. I'll email his teacher right now about it. Thanks!

It might be easier if they stayed longer, but maybe he needs a calendar? Even just print it off the Internet or draw it with big squares & put it in a notebook. Split the squares in half ( morning & school half...afternoon/ evening half). D for dad in the morning, cause he is waking up there, M in the afternoon cause he is going home to Moms. The word swim or a picture of pool for swimming afternoons, etc. A hot green highlighter to cross thru the day at bed time. Mine liked that at that age to keep track of is this a soccer day or a Tae Kwon Do day? I printed little pictures off the Internet & shrank them small then glued on the day.

Or when J was in high school, he just took a notebook and wrote a date on each page & what activity he had & time each day. Then he added homework, etc. you could just have each be a day with wake up at the top & sleep at the bottom.

That's a good idea. I'll try it. I have them both every day after school, even if it's not overnight. It's really hard to pick him up, and the first thing out of his mouth is "who's house are we sleeping at tonight?" and if I tell him "mine" he says, "Yay!" If I say "daddy's", he gets upset. He told me a few weeks ago when I asked how he liked spending 1/2 the time with me and 1/2 the time w daddy that he hates it and he wants to live with me all the time. Madeleine, on the other hand likes the 50/50 split. I'm praying so hard that he'll agree to trying a new schedule for a few weeks. Praying soooo hard!!!

Last I checked, a Catholic getting divorced was only a controversial subject to Catholics......

:)

Therefore I have no strong opinions and was kinda hoping for something we could all get in a nice, stimulating argument about! Like what brand of laptop to buy! Or whether Lady Gaga was born a man!

I seem to recall that the then-Catholic King Henry VIII of England wanted a divorce from his first wife (he had six). Got right messy, that. Excommunications, interdiction, confiscation of Church property...

Methinks this will be less traumatic.

Rachel, you are doing the right thing, even if the Church says you are not. Be strong, move forward, and recapture your life. :wub:

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
