POPS-Parents Offering Parents Support

Hi everyone. Hope that all is well with everyone. I am going through rough times ahead within the next few weeks. My oldest son, who is 16, is going to have to go for an ambulatory EEG this Friday. He has to wear this device until the following Monday. He will probably have a restless weekend.

I have written a booklet of poems entitled "Reflections of A Holy Life". it was publsihed by Wordclay. I have copies available for anyone interested in obtaining a copy. The cost of the book is $10.

We all need to be supportive of our special needs children. The things that they put us through. I have a child that if I have to correct him for anything, he will go after me with anything he can find. He went to Mental Health and is taking Wellbutrin and Abilify, these medications are helping but not alot.

They seem to wear off by evening or late night.

I am available to talk to any parent that might be new to this area of Special Needs. My children are ages 13 and 16.

It is very important to learn about all the resources out there that are available to you.

One that I recommend to every parent is applying for SSI. This has been a lifesaver for my family.  I have not worked since 2000. The reason that I have not worked is due to the behavioral issues with one of the children, which prevents me from being able to work, because I need to be with this child 24/7.
