Here is Joshua in his "tunnel tent" having a swell time look at that smile! Man I love tents or forts, I miss being the kid who could play all day in a tent and be totally entertained. I wonder if I build myself a fort if it will entertain me now???? Probably not, oh the good ole' days...miss em!
Well my Joshua has been getting only the 1.5mg of the Risperdal at bedtime for only two days now but I am noticing it more then when we took him off of the 1.5mg in the morning. To me he is stimming a bit and he is louder and a bit less tolerant I think, but on the upside his teacher said he had a really good day, he did have a crying breakdown when one of his classmates was too loud during art (or something like that) towards the days end, when Gary got there he was all upset, Gary called me so Joshua could talk to me on the phone Joshua was crying not horribly....... and he said "I had a bad afternoon" and "I want to come see you mama" I told him I was at my other job and he couldn't come there because I was busy :( I told him I loved him and when I would be home, he was still crying, I told him if he would calm down then after speech therapy he could have one of his gluten free brownies, he said he would stop crying and calm down. He still had a shaky voice but he did stop crying and went to speech and did great, when he got home he did not even ask for the brownie (mostly with a deal like that he will call you on it as soon as he was out of therapy) He has complained a few times that Jacob is too loud so I think he is mainly just having some sensitivity to the sounds. But on the up side he is happy, he got over his crying very quickly, he is talking a lot, and playing with Jacob a lot and giving him hugs too (those are always good)
Mainly what I am reporting is quite minimal and I may be putting more on this 0.5mg less Risperdal then needs to be....... this certainly wouldn't be the first time I make more out of something then it really is ha ha ha (me? no not me! big smile) what is going on may just be Joshua, I certainly do not act the same everyday (just ask my husband) I am all over the place, just depends and I do not expect Joshua to act the same each day either.
I am happy with the weaning thus far, the small things I am noticing may just be a part of the process, I know it will be a drawn out process............. but I am patient (well I am! at least 1/2 of the time) No really I can wait this wean out, this is all a positive. Gotta go Gary made me dinner, what a luv!
My heart to you all, even if we have never met or spoke all of you are my hero's! ~~Lori
