      Thanks, i think she is just worried about the hospital today she's usually alot worse the few days before and after an apointment, i think there going to try to medicate her again but i want my daughter not a couch potato in the corner.

      I don't know maybee its time to consider medication but to be honest a diagnosis would be nice before labeling her as another statistic on ritalin.

      oh well i will see what they say in about an hrs time. speaking of wich i best get ready myself lol
