Well the new year has come and another week down. Christmas break is over and Mitchel was not ready to go back. Mitchel’s anger has been controled at times. but he has had a few outbursts here and there. We have become very concerned about His weight gain. Since August when he was diagnosed and medicated he has put on nearly 28 lbs. (is it the Tenex?) The poor kid eats all day long. God we love him so much.
We were at our oldest sons basketball game yesterday and we noticed that the other teams coach had tics. I wanted to go up to him and talk about it. But I thought that may seem a little rude. So I kept my distance.

I have decided to make the diary a weekly event. Otherwise you will just be reading the same old stuff day in and day out, and that may get boring.
good evening.

We had a good day today Mitchel was inside all day while his brother went off to Basketball practice. When I arrived home from work he greeted me with a big smile. As the night wore on he became tired and had a small outburst. He was just really tired. All in all a good day.

Well Back to work for me today after the holidays. Mitchel did well. There were no issues no fighting. Tics have greatly deminished now that Christmas is over. Again another great day.

Today was a wonderful day. No issues no fighting. It was very uneventful. (we will take em when we can get em.)

I wanted to also explain Mitchel’s current medication. Mitchel is on a drug called Tenex it belongs to the general class of medicines called antihypertensives. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). He takes 1/2 tablet twice a day. This seems to make him tired and he definitely has gained an appetite. Well until tomorrow thanks for reading.

WOW 4:00 am came early today. Mitchel had a wonderful day. His tics were not so bad. His storms were in full swing, Sometimes we wonder if he really does hate us. Lucky for us he took a few naps, and we made sure that he paced himself. My god the family room looks like Jeffrey from Toys R Us threw up.

Christmas Eve is here. Mitchel was very excited today. I noticed the tics when he was about to open presents at his grandparents house. He fell asleep very quickly tonight. All of the excitement has worn the poor little guy out.

Well Today www.rubberbandboy.com went live. Mitchel is so excited. He really hopes that he will receive millions of rubber bands. We are out of school for the Christmas break and all the excitement is taking its toll on Mitchel. The Tics are pretty frequent. Oh we can’t wait for the holidays to be over and to get back to whatever sense of normality we can.
