[QUOTE="buddy, post: 472683, member: 12886"] ok...we have a plan. SOOOOO the first doctor we were assigned to they decided to switch even before we met him...they switched to a guy we actually already saw a little over a year ago just as a consult so that we had someone on board if we ever were in this position. He worked at the children's specialty hospital. that neuro and new psychiatric work at. But he left...and now he is at this place so I reminded him we already saw him! Ok so the pediatrician started talking to me about Lithium last year. Now our docs and this new one think so too. They feel that since it bypasses the enzyme system it is a good choice. They are first going to do a full ekg and all of that stuff to make sure he is healthy enough to take it...then will start tonight. I am so glad they are not jumping off the deep end and stopping everything etc. We still want to eventually replace the clonidine with Tenex but that can wait till summer. It is not because it doesn't work, but because he is on too high a dose and the clonidine plus the concerta at that level can cause heart problems. Also thyroid problems. so they are gonna check everything. I asked the doctor if I can take him to therapeutic horseback riding on thurs and sun and he said that is a good plan and that on sunday they will even do an overnight pass so we can see how home goes. He talked to me for 45 minutes and answered everything and thought his school stuff and what I sent (I wrote a letter and I am sure it was overkill but...) He said that what I sent has helped them on the unit very much. I was told our doctor was not back till tomorrow but this doctor is friends with her and just called her cell so they decided this together. Yipee. Now, here we go again. if it doesn't work.... this doctor said, you know, we work with lots of kids like this and the fact is they are bain injured. they are going to need accomodations always. I said I have been saying that to people for years and he can just come with me to the school admin and tell them too. He said ok. huge thanks and will be a little roller coaster I am sure so thanks for indulging me and listening.... you all are great. [/QUOTE]
