A Mad Problem

Soon after Aiden recovered from that week long flu he had, he began getting quite angry over the most minor things. Screaming, yelling, stomping, cursing (yes, cursing....thank you school children), throwing things....just getting out of control. Since then, this happens multiple times per day and we never know what might set him off. It's also begun to flow over into his behavior at school so much that his teacher has had to talk to me about it on numerous occasions. This past weekend, he actually broke out in hives while at John's parents.

We have no idea what is causing this and it's getting quite frustrating. His teacher wants to meet with me next week to discuss it. Before then, I plan to call the doctor to see if it's something we need to discuss medically. I have a history of anxiety and tend to break out in hives if my anxiety levels go through the roof, so that may be a possibility. It's also possible that he's having an allergic reaction to something - lots of kids act out as part of an allergy reaction.

Whatever it may be, it's definitely causing a lot of extra stress on us all and since we're still in the thick of John working and finishing school, extra stress is NOT GOOD. If it's something you do, please keep us in thought and prayer while we work through this.
