Living with a child with ADHD

My oldest son , Lucas has been told by the Dr that he has , ADHD . I am going to share with you all what it is like to have a child with this problem . I have wished for a support group in my area , but have yet to find one . So, by writing this , it may come to help others .
Lucas was born 6 weeks early , March 12 , 2004 . We were living in Mississippi at the time . The Drs there seem to not care about their patients , As you will read about in this Blog .
I had a very hard time in my pregnancy . I threw up the whole time . Had high blood pressure ( that was not helped with ) and prego diabetes ( not informed of until 8 months of pregnancy ) . I also had a very bad kidney infection and gave meds that were 10 times the dose that should have been given ! Thank God , i am a RX tech and picked up on this and did not ask them , but went back to my DR and showed her this . She them put me on the right meds .
A week before Lucas was born , I had a DR appointment . We talked that I would need a c-section because my bones on my hips were very weak and could break if I had a natural child birth .
The next week , I began to bleed . It was time for another check-up that day , so I went in . They put me in the hospital because I was dialed to 4 ! No pain was ever felt . I asked the Dr if she would do c- section , as we had talked about , SHE REFUSED !
I was in labor for 19 hours . I never had any pain , but felt I better get an epidural at dilating of 7 . The Dr made me push for 3 and 1/2 hours . During this time I began to throw up blood ( and a lot of it ) . Lucas' heart dropped and so did mine . Finally , an ER c-section was to take place.
He was born with problems of breathing and had to me rushed to the Children's Miracle Hospital in Alabama . Let me tell you something , there is nothing as hard as having your new born taking away from you by strangers , Never get to hold him before they take him away !
He was in there for a week . It was three days bdfore I even saw him or held him ! My husband took good care of him those three days .
The reason I go back this far with this story , is because they believe , his birth may have had a reason for him having ADHD .
I will continue on with this tomorrow .
