There is a scene in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, where the evil Aunt Entity (Tina Turner) is forced to admit that a little man called Master Blaster rules Barter town because he provides Barter Town with electricity.
We have now realized that Jake is Master Blaster and he rules our Barter Town. We feel awful that Jake has to go through painful medical procedures as well as having been in pain for months. So naturally, we have been endulging him. This hasn't been good for Jake. He needs things to get back to normal for him. He also needs structure so that he knows what to expect. That was painfully obvious to me when he asked me one day if he could go back to school.
We are pulling back slowly and letting him do things for himself. I am also going to setup a chart of daily tasks that he has to complete. Instead of offering him things, I will wait until he asks. When he is done with the aggressive treatment, he will go to poppa and grammy's house for school. This will help greatly to get his confidence back. According to his latest lab results, he is getting better so I know when he's playing me. Ha ha.
