Okay, so it's been about 2 weeks since we've restarted the fish oil, and while we still have some issues to work on, life with Xan has been much better. It seems like such a simple thing, to pop a few "lemon drops", but what an unbelievable impact it has had in his behavior.
And actually, I guess I should back up in case there is an off chance that there is anyone reading this blog who doesn't really know us. Xan has adhd, really. It's not a case of "Geez, he's just a boy being a boy," he really does have it. I've had him evaluated, but not officially diagnosed because I don't want him labeled. It's not fair to label our kids, one way or the other, it just sets them up for failure I think. They are either to worried about living up to or living down those labels. But with a "diagnoses" at least I know where to look for help.
So anyways, that's the deal with the whole fish oil thing.
