Re: August Happy New You for a Merrier Christmas!
Good Morning! I had an interesting day yesterday! I was busy all day. My son went to his psychiatrist and they took his blood pressure and it was high. He has very high cholesterol we know already - - 512!!!! So, I have been expecting that high blood pressure would be following. He's 6'1", 284 lbs. Well, and the fact I am diabetic too, is not good. The psychiatrist must weigh about 300 lbs himself, and he was lecturing my son on weightloss. My son couldn't take him seriously, but I tried to explain that he HAS to do something! Anyhow, the dr did say he's lost 10 pounds since school started. He has to walk all over the campus and he has PE, so he gets a lot more exercise these days! I have been happy about that.
Well, then back to school night, the first period teacher informs me that my son is having emotional issues again and maybe placed in the emotional class where they basically keep him in one room all day and he gets no interaction except with the other emotional kids. He is just starting to do so well, in my eyes, and making a lot of progress. I guess not good enough. So, we are waiting to see how he does in the next couple of weeks, and if he's struggling then he will be put into that special class. He's not happy about it. I don't want to project until we get "the meeting" and they tell us what's up. It's very sad. So, then he won't probably have PE, and he won't get much walking. I will have to force afterschool walking then, because he's got to lose that weight!!! Sometimes being a mom is really hard!
