Mom? What's a difficult child?
We are tritrating K off of Lithium! Oh joy of joys!!! I am so happy that one more medication has not worked.
Oh and K has now started ripping her eyelashes out! Could I not be happier?
I am currently getting 2 e-mails a week from Teacher where we are brainstorming about how to help my child.
K's anxiety is sky high, she is so freaked out about tests and School in general.
We are adapting everything that is freaking her out as each one comes up.
We are seeing nothing with the Lithium and an increase in her negative symptoms. Whether or not this is to be attributed to the Lithium? Who knows.
Taking her to a higher blood level is pointless. she is at .6. If we were going to see any positive we would have by now and going higher is not going to magically produce something good.
Fact of the matter is a lot of studies say that Lithium is not good for kids with ADHD and mixed states, which K has both.
We should have seen some positive by now.
She is doing horrible. She is miserable. She told psychiatrist this morning how bad everything is. How she just wants it to stop, how she wishes there was a pill to just make everything better.
Our therapist is freaking out.
psychiatrist told K that we need to help her better and we trying our best.
I started crying when I left School this morning. She missed the big 2nd grade party for the tie-dye's they did on Friday.
She was with husband at the psychiatrist.
I just stood there watching all of her classmates smiling and dancing around, all 3 classes were together and she missed it.
I walked off and started crying.
And she is in the fricken psychiatrist's telling her about the stupid Fairies...
