Top of the morning

So here i am sat at the laptop at a much earlier time than normal so the outlook is currently middle of the road, yesterday afternoon i saw some lovely sunshine streaming in through the windows so i'm hoping for more later.

Today we're gonna be blagging it. Our son is home feeling under the weather. Yesterday he mentioned having a 'funny' tummy but i sent him in as i didn't see any signs of it in the run up to leaving, in the afternoon he was messaging me saying how un-sympathetic the staff were being almost being the opposite if anything which of course just made the situation worse with our son getting wound up and frustrated. He has a sore eye too, not sure if it's something we need something for so a trip to the chemist today as it seems that's now the thing to do before you call the doctors and see if we can help clear that up, he's still sleeping so that's good.

This week he went horse riding and actually got on a horse, I'm not clear if he was led round on it but he was chuffed to have got on one which i think is something we'd all have reservations about. I have had a couple of horse riding lessons but never went any further with it as the friend i went with stopped, well atleast i think that's what happened.

Our son is still in 'Re-Focus' he has spent more days than not telling me he doesn't want to go to school than ever before which doesn't bode well and 'if' having ADHD is a factor the inconsistencies at school won't be helping any. There was a time when i suggested keeping him out of assemblies especially when it's long as asking any child to sit for up to an hour is a big ask but when talking and fidgeting is a factor it's less than ideal but the response was 'no we don't want to segregate him from his peers' but the consequences at school do just that and whilst I'm trying to see 'Re-Focus' as being helpful rather than punishment he is still working in a hut which was flooded on Monday with possibly two other kids, no outside time, no fresh air, and a distinct lack of social time (which of course comes with it's pitfalls). Next week I'm led to believe they will integrate him back into classes, so more change. I have so little knowledge about this but it feels to me that the things they have done so far are not helping at all. We have a meeting next week so we'll see what gets said but i feel i need to start saying what I'm feeling rather than sitting and listening after all whilst we can't speed up the process of him being assessed i can push for more constructive help......
