My biggest comfort here, aside from knowing what we did was right, is that I'm sure she's found Dad by now. And that's such a happy thought.

And there are numerous reminders posted around the kitchen and den. (Amish Summer House Rules say that one of the things Oldest in particular must do before anything fun in the mornings like TV is that she must take her pill.) That particular week was insanity coming and going, and because I had to have the twins down to the next town to catch the bus for camp, it threw off the normal summer morning routine, so while she'd had breakfast, she didn't take her pill, despite the pill case being bright mint green and right there. Even the pill case itself is not a cure-all, because I can look at it and see that the day's pills have been removed, but I can't tell you how many times she's said she's taken them, and I've found them on the kitchen floor (or elsewhere) days or weeks later, and previous days of over-the-top ADHD behavior are suddenly explained.<br /><br />Honestly, she needs pills to help her focus enough to remember to *take* the pills.Auntie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291024186455331856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120979690807965971.post-52387415558880231772016-07-19T11:50:39.554-04:002016-07-19T11:50:39.554-04:00One of those day-to-day weekly pill holders maybe?...One of those day-to-day weekly pill holders maybe?
