So, who do we have on board?

Hi All!
First, my prayers and a lot of pixie dust go out to all of you who are traveling a harder path than I am. God bless you all!

Ditto!!

Hi Guys..I am Allison and I have three amazing kids. Sean (DS 10) has ADD.
My middle guy is Riley and he will be 8 next month. Our little Princess is Taylor and just turned 4 in October. Both of them have Asthma and allergies. Riley is severly lactose intolerant. That can be quite a struggle but can be controlled with medication.
Sean is in 5th grade and has been on Adderall XR since 1st grade. He is in a "main stream" classroom and is a wonderful student. He does have a 504 plan for time and a half for testing for those of you familiar with Special Ed. Our school tries to place kids with ADD/ADHD in inclusion classrooms if they can but, Sean does not meet the requirements to be classified , he is 504 so not technically a "main stream" student either so...he would throw the balance off. He has trouble staying on task, focusing and organization. Thankfully, we have had great success with is medication and he shows no signs of those during the school day. We have considered other options but, are not as knowledgable as we would like to be about those options. Any input would be great.
I have to agree with those that mentioned Melatonin. We struggled for years with sleeping issues with Sean. Our Ped recommended it two years ago and it has been a great help for him. He still has a restless night here and there but no where near as often as he used to.

I had my third knee surgery on November 6th. Our trip in September was the first time I had any kind of mobility issues. I spent a lot of time on benches with ice as my friend. I hope our next trip will be pain free.

Our family loves everything Disney. I've learned lots of great things here on Intercot.
