Seems like this is going to happen every day. Yes D is having a meltdown again. And after a pretty calm day. Where does all the anger come from. It is as if he hates everyone and anyone that is around him when it happens. I am going to work on calming him down and redirecting this energy as best I can. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Another Meltdown Morning
For those of you who may be new or not know me, D is my son who has multiple disabilities. Lately he has been having a lot of issues with meltdowns and behaviors. He is on various medications to help with this, but sometimes that just isn't enough.
Take this morning for example. I went upstairs and he was awake and watching t.v. I helped him out of the bed, sat there for about 30 minutes scratching his "itchy back" (this is a thing with him). During this time he is telling me "no school tomorrow", which in his speak means he does not want to go to school today. After about 45 minutes trying to get him changed and ready we were finally headed down the stairs to the first floor. He was working up to anger at this point, still very adamant about the fact he did not want to go to school.
We were able to get him into his wheelchair that he uses for school, but he was just getting angrier by the second. Got him outside, spent about an hour walking up and down the sidewalk with him, talking to him, trying to get him calm and keep him there. The bus finally came, and still he was saying "no school tomorrow", he did not want to go. Here is to hoping that once he gets there he has a good day.
