Brendan slept through the night and when he woke up, he still looked tired. He was pretty much tired the whole day. And yet, he didn't fall asleep until midnight.
Today, he went on another field trip. The same group (students/aides) walked to Safeway to buy groceries for their cooking project. One of his aides said he had so much fun going to Safeway.
This afternoon we took him to the dermatologist because he keeps getting his sores on his underarms. For awhile, coconut oil with tea tree oil seemed to help. But it would never completely go away. The the doctor gave us an ointment. This still didn' work. So now we are onto a antibiotic gel. This is a chronic condition called hidradenitis suppurativa. But what was amazing is how well Brendan did at the doctor's. He sat quietly while watching a DVD (with regular headphones so as not to disturb other). He did have a few loud outbursts, but I would remind him that he needs to be quiet, and he would put his finger to his lips (like shushing), and then he would be quiet. In the past when I would ask him to be quiet, he would get mad and headbutt me. Then he was very good with the doctor and even laid down on the table so she could check his sores. H as so mature!!! I was very proud of him. : )
