Tuesday, November 9 was the first day Molly took her Vyvanse. WOW! I expected to see a small difference, but what I got was a HUUUUUUUUGE difference. Her focus was 100% better. Yet she was still funny and a kid. The “zombie” effect was my worst fear. I didn’t want it to change HER, but to change her level of focus and the impulsiveness.
Their case worker visited yesterday for the monthly visit, she stayed about an hour. Molly played quietly in her room for about 45 minutes on her new “laptop”. I was so pleased. Then at bed time last night she needed a bath. I ran her water, she got in, bathed herself while I did laundry, and then got out and dressed herself in about 3 minutes. Normally, PJ’s take a minimum of 15 minutes and 5 reminders to get them on… but not last night!
Then this morning, she needed to get herself ready for school. She was dressed, socks, shoes, and teeth brushed within 5 minutes. AMAZING! My frustration level was so low this morning. I praised the heck out of her and told her how proud I was of her. She was pretty proud of herself too!
I hope we continue to see this focus from her. It makes life much easier for all of us!
