Back to the Doctor

Xavier will have to go back to the doctor. He's not really excited about this but right now we have great medical coverage so I'd rather get it all done while we can.
He did go to the dentist last week - I believe I forgot to mention that. Xavier has great teeth genetics so no cavities yet. The dentist doesn't think he will get cavities since there haven't been any and no sign that he will need braces. Xavier has one tooth out of line but the rest are perfect. There's no need to correct that one tooth and Xavier likes it just the way it is. The bad thing is Xavier is not really good at brushing his teeth. We have given him more control over his hygiene instead of standing over him while he gets ready but we may have to be more hands-on. I don't know what it is about teeth brushing that Xavier doesn't like but he really doesn't want to do it. We've switched him to Toms of Maine which is not a bad toothpaste. I hope that a more natural toothpaste might appeal more to him. Since the dentist is sure there won't be cavities there's no more threat of fillings to convince him to brush. (Ideas would be greatly appreciated).
Next Tuesday he goes back to Dr Hall to talk about the medication. I just don't feel comfortable not making the appointment after getting the medicine in an emergency.
I talked with Anna, X's therapist, yesterday. She has recommended that we try CFI which is a different sort of therapy that is done in home with the whole family. I like this idea because it gets us all on the same page and someone who really knows what they are talking about creating a plan instead of Rob and I trying to piece together our own therapy program. She said we should put any schooling plans on hold and talk with the school in the fall. She works closely with Xavier's school but it seems that we need a better person in charge. Xavier did have multiple members on his team but no real leader so not all the information was being shared across the board. There were issues that Rob and I were working on with the school that Anna didn't know existed and vice versa. Unfortunately we can't do anything about it now but we can learn to be more communicative. We didn't really talk much to Anna this year and I think it harmed Xavier's ability to get help. We'll have to make sure we touch base with Anna on a regular basis.
Meanwhile Xavier will work with Anna in a group setting a few times this summer doing challenge courses and some sort of trip. He hadn't worked with Anna last summer because he was doing so well so he's excited to return to the program. In the years past they have gone on an all day rafting trip but they may do something different this year.
We meet with the CFI coordinator on Tuesday as well. We're excited to get this ball rolling.
Xavier will have his first trip with Anna on the 27th and he's already excited.
We had a rough start to the summer but I think we're still on task with trying to find a good therapy that works for Xavier and will help him be successful in high school. I did talk with Anna about Xavier going through "the change" and how we will have to monitor that while we are working on his PDD/ADHD issues. Puberty is tough for anyone but add that to a mix of other issues and this is going to be one bumpy ride.
