Nathan is halfway thru his antibiotics and is back at school. He still seems a little cranky and off, but that might be bc he has to get used to going back to school and is tired.
This week AJ got a 95% on his reading test, but his spelling test results are not yet in. AJ is really REALLY happy to be able to stay in Ms. Antinori's class. His whole attitude toward school and AGP is much better this year. I hope it's a maturity thing and it stays with him.
Austin managed to get 100% on his vocab test and a 100% on his AR (reading) test. This is a HUGE improvement over the past few weeks. On Friday morning he was so spazzy and hyper going into school that I had to actually hold his hand and physically separate him from AJ to keep him calm. By the time he came home from school yesterday, he just seemed much calmer, relaxed, not as agitated and out of zone. It was literally like one person went into school, and Austin finally came back home.
I found out from him today that they moved the kid that Oz has been saying he doesn't like- the same one that told him the story that upset him so much on Friday September 2nd. That's right when this huge slide began to happen. I'm not sure there is a connection between the proximity of the kid to Oz and the behavior and academics issues, but it's at least something to talk to his doc about. Austin assures us that there is no bullying, no teasing... he just simply doesn't like the kid. I wonder if that kid is just a constant reminder to Austin of his fears and Austin just could not perform with him there. I don't know.
I'm hoping and praying that relaxed/comfortable Austin is back to stay. I've really missed him. He's not back in his bedroom and we're not pushing him to go back. We figure when he feels ok, he'll know. Pushing him over anxiety stuff has never, ever helped him overcome anything in the past.
That's the poop for now. The next few days and weeks will be very important for us as Austin's progress (or lack of) will determine if anything needs to be changed. We're really hoping this kind of passes on it's own and we don't need to make any changes.
