So Far, So Good

The email from his teacher today:

[Sunny] had a pretty good day today.  He was excited and anxious to share things with the rest of the class.  We did have to refocus him a number of times - but I think part of that was the excitement of being back.  [Sunny] did not get angry or overly frustrated today over anything. 
He did say that his throat was bothering him and asked to go home frequently in the morning (but then appeared to be doing fine in between times so we were hesitant to send him to the office).

Just the usual ADHD and hypochondria, that's all.  So far, so good.  We're hoping he can keep it up through the week.

ETA: Hypochondria and ADHD aren't a bad combination, because the ADHD really lessens the effect of the hypochondria.  If he didn't have such a short attention span, he might obsess endlessly over his imagined symptoms.  As it is, he forgets about his terrible potential illnesses as soon as he sees something shiny, and they're pretty easy to manage.

- "Mom, I have a bump on my wrist!" "Mom, look at this bruise!" "Mom, my head hurts!"

- "Oh no! I'm sorry you're feeling bad. I'd better take you to bed so you can lie down for a bit."

- "Actually... I'm feeling better! Don't worry! I'll be OK! I'm going outside to play on my pogo stick now!"

Tonight, he was complaining that there was something blocking his nose, and if he took it out, new stuff would block up his nose.  Guy told him, "that's called 'boogers', and they're a lifelong condition.  I've been suffering from them all my life."
