Taking Ben off the drugs

So taking Ben off the Miralax has been intresting. The week before I did it, he had a great week at school, one of the best in a while, and then, it went downhill. Discouraging in the least. But all the parents on the Miralax board, would say that his behavior could come from detoxing fromt the toxic miralax. At first, he became very, very backed up, his tummy was huge and round and hard. But with some prune juice, Milk of magnesia, Pro-biotics everyday, and one gylcerine suppository, I seem to have cleared him out. He's still going everyday, but there not regular poops, there a little runny actually. So we tried taking the MOM, (milk of Magnisia) away, and then last night he just had a little hard stuff.

Anyway, his behavior over the last few weeks has been difficult at school and at home. He is super defient. He's doing things he knows he's not supposed to do, and sneaking around to do them. Then when he get's scolded he does this crying sad face thing, (Ben hardly cries unless he's hurt), where he reaches his arms up to you and say'd "Hug??" It's pretty impossible to resist. His Aid at school cought on to his game pretty quick, noteing how very smart he really is, and has refused to by into it, and well, he stopped. It's much harder for me and daddy to refuse his hugs, because well, he's Ben.

Jason's mom JoAnn is here for the first time in two years. She was here last night for dinner. I so wanted Ben to engage and be the cute sweet Ben I know he can be, but instead he just buzzed around the house from thing to thing, moaning and groaning and humming. Obsessing over and acting out a video that he recently found, "Elmo's world". Then freaking out when I turned it off to try to get him to join us for dinner, which he wouldn't. Sigh. It was hard. There is so much beauty and magic to Ben, so much to be seen and heard, but it's not always there, and usually hidden when there is someone new in the house.

Anyway, I'm going to try to get some video's for this site, once I figure it out. Ta Ta for now.
Love,
Willow
