Please Send Up Thoughts and Prayers

We are once again facing a challenge with Chase that we are seeking guidance on. He's been having outbursts at school again, and today it all came to a head. One of the other children in class was teasing him and Chase went into one of his "frozen" states and followed that up with pure anger. He began throwing things, crying out, and even kicked his chair over. When the school called me, they called it "violent" in nature.

We have tried so many interventions, strategies, and even medications. Here at home, where things are more controlled, he does very well. But, in school, it doesn't seem to be enough. As parents, we are feeling at a loss and very sad that we can't seem to help this child with what he is feeling inside.

We have taken the next step and are having him seen by the Behavioral Psychologist at Baptist Hospital. We've been told he's one of the best in the region.

Please, keep Chase in thoughts and prayers as we continue to fight this battle with him.
