Today is Therapy Tuesday.  The bulk of my kids therapy, takes place today. Tonight we have Dr. Pattie and because of Gavin's state of being, we've made arrangements for the two E's and will take Gavin tonight to see Dr. Pattie alone. We need to figure out some type of plan.  The meds aren't working, we know that. So what can we do, outside of medication to keep him firmly ground in reality? Do we force him to engage with others? Do we allow him to spend his time with his visibly challenged friends? I would imagine that we need to find a place in the middle somewhere. We need to somehow find a balance, but how? Hopefully, we'll find some of those answers tonight.  This site is managed almost…

Gavin's getting so lost right now.  He's been hanging out with Sonic all day today and we've barely seen him.  He did come down to use a calculator to figure out how to divide the deck of cards by four, so he and his visibly challenged friends, have the same amount. Truth is, he's not the only one that's lost. I'm completely lost and have no idea what to do.  I'm scared, overwhelmed, broken and sad.  Stressed out beyond all imagination is something that makes the list as well.

So I called Dr. Reynolds office yesterday and requested an appointment because Gavin isn't getting better.  I explained that he was spending less and less time in reality and more and more time in fantasy. A few hours later, we get a call from Walgreens, informing us that Gavin could no longer take Clozapine. Apparently, we had a small miscommunication because when I said Gavin was getting worse, Dr. Reynolds office took that as Gavin was having adverse effects and immediately pulled him off the prescription. Gavin's not having an adverse reaction, it's just simply not working at the current dose. However, now we can't get his prescription filled, until the office corrects everything.  Why does this worry me and warrant a post? For starters, I'm frustrated.  Secondly, Clozapine is…

My Grandfather is in the hospital again and will be undergoing surgery today, to remove a tumor from his bladder.  He's going to be 87 years old and will be going under for this procedure. I know that my whole family would appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Thank you........
