Jordan has struggled with ADHD his whole life. After many years of fighting the idea of medication, we finally gave it a try. I cried the next day because I felt I had done him a diservice in not getting him help sooner.
Even though the meds are tiny little miracles in pill form, early in the morning, before they have had a chance to kick in, the ADHD noises fill our home. It can sound like a tornado going through a zoo. Jordan makes this screeching sound that sounds like someone has stepped on a dog. He screams, yells, laughs, screeches and makes other indescribable noises, all while running and jumping through the house. But once the little miracle pill kicks in, he is calm and can carry on a conversation with out running around in circles first.
This struggle with ADHD has been rough, but I wouldn't change a thing about him. He is perfect to me. Even if I have to ask him to do something 27 times before he actually does it. Last night we went to one of those pottery painting places and had a great couple of hours just being calm and painting. A very memorable moment for me. I hope it was for him also.
