Been AWOL, busting tail working on Dylan's Residential Treatment Facility (RTF).
After 14 weeks, the Bipolar diagnosis is gone.
Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, ADHD Combined Type; Inattentive/Hyperactive. Lithium, gone. Wellbutrin, gone. Synthroid going as soon as the thyroid fixes itself thanks to the Lithium and DDAVP has stopped the enuresis. That will probably die too, once the Lithium is gone.
They will figure out medications after watching him 2 weeks without medications. Hyperactive. Impulsive. Moody, yes. Enough to call it Bipolar? Nope. No depression. No mania. Just hyperactivity. Very, very, very high levels of it.
Figured some might find that interesting. Still not defiant. Best kid out of 12 in the residence. Not oppositional. Listens. Does what he's told. Getting tons of therapy; equine/horticulture/art/dance/music and pet. Learning daily. Best thing I ever did.
Hope everyone's well.
