Two Meltdowns

Two meltdowns today.

I received a phone call today from the nurse. She said Nathan was okay, no meltdowns or anything, but he was complaining that his knee hurt after gym. They gave him Tylenol and sent him back to class.

A few hours later, I got an email from the case manager, telling me Nathan had a meltdown this morning. (I guess the nurse didn't know about it.) There weren't any details at all about what preceeded the melt, what caused it, how it was handled. It doesn't sound like it lasted too long. No mention of restraining him, but that doesn't mean they didn't. I was told he complained of being hungry, thirsty and tired.

Yeah, I'm tired too.

Nathan told me he also got mad at the end of the day, when they didn't give him the promised reward of coloring. My guess is that he didn't earn the reward. Not if he had a meltdown earlier. I don't know that for certain, but it makes sense. The school didn't tell me about that one.

This is getting so depressing.
