Sans Meds

So I decided to take K off the Tenex as I didn't think I was noticing much improvement... well... I admit, I was wrong! There WAS improvement on it... not much but after her being off of it a week she has been a terror. Tantrums (the long ones again), screaming fits, all around nasty behavior and not being able to control her behavior AT ALL. Maybe it has nothing to do with the meds, maybe it does... but we started her back on and will be putting her back on 1/2 pill twice a day. The past few days have me worn to the end and there are times when I want to give up... but I know, for her, I cant. She needs me even if she is treating me terribly. I love her and I will be there for her through good and bad... unconditionally.

She's also having an asthma flare up so we're doing albuterol & pulmicort in the nebulizer for a bit to try to get rid of the cough and then I think we will finish out the winter on the pulmicort once a day. She must have gotten a touch of the cold her brother had and then triggered the asthma. If she keeps coughing I'm going to take her in to have her checked out and let them help me out with the dosing in the Nebulizer... maybe she needs twice a day for a bit to get rid of the cough and yucky breathing.

Anyway... hopefully we will see an improvement in her behavior and I'm also hoping in Jan we can get her started with a private therapist, work on getting her more services through the school district and/or getting her into Crossroads so she can get some intensive treatment.

We'll just have to see how the new year will go.
