Goodbye Sir

Me and my boys

Sometimes you think Kevin isn't paying any attention at all and then out of the blue he says something like "Goodbye Sir."  Lately he's been having some issues late in the day. Nothing serious. Mostly not being able to focus and waving or stretching his arms around, which is not really any fun if your trying to drive.  Once or twice I've had to give him a 1/2 extra of Ativan, because he seemed to be getting a little wound up. Yesterday I even had my brother ask me if he had eaten something that he wasn't suppose to be eating. I told him not as far as I know, but he could be eating the crumbs off the table at school in the cafeteria. You'd think that even a small amount as that couldn't effect him, but sometimes I wonder. I do know of one child that ate just the corner of a cracker and had problems from just that small amount.  Anyway back to the "Goodbye Sir." The other day my brother and I picked up the boys at school and went to look at a car for me to drive. We took it out for a test drive and the longer we were there the more Kevin seemed to sink into his own little world.  You know how it is when you go to look at a car and want to talk about financing. It takes hours whether you actual buy the car or not and it did take hours for us. The later it got the more my brother and I keep looking over to see how Kevin was handling the whole thing. We finally left the dealership around 6pm and as we were walking out of the office Kevin looked up all of the sudden and said "Goodbye Sir." Needless to say we all looked at Kevin in shock.  I have no idea if it was the fact that we got up to leave the room or if he was really listening to us or not. So, remember that folks! They may seem like they aren't listening, but they just might be.
