Kenny celebrated his 7th birthday on September 10, 2009. We had a small family celebration for him and then the next weekend, we had a “Three Musketeer” party for him. It was supposed to be with his two best friends, Bryson and Grant.
An interesting birthday present was received though. Kenneth was diagnosed with ADD. We weren’t shocked but a bit skeptical about putting him on medication. We weren’t sure what to expect or when we would see any results if we would see any at all, but we went ahead and started him on the medication.
Within 1 week, we began to see a totally different Kenny. He was attentive, polite, willing to help in whatever we asked him to do, completing assignments and tasks. We has seen an increase in his self confidence, he smiles and laughs more. He is just a joy to be around and we love being with him now.
In fact, a few days after he had been on the medication we were doing chores and he said to me “Mom, this is so much fun. Why don’t we do this more often?”
