Quick update

I got news this morning that C's Medicaid is finally going to go through. They only need one more piece of info from the facility. Yay! It's about time!
So, I called the facility to tell them what they needed to send. I also talked to the nurse and C finally saw the Dr again. She increased his Depakote to 1000mg at night and his Risperdal to 2mg at night. He slept well last night and was actually good and awake at med time this morning. That's awesome! Hopefully his med levels are good now, for a while, and he can start to make more progress. It's odd that he would be more awake with the increase to the Risperdal. Maybe the dose wasn't enough for him to sleep well and not be tired through half the next day? I don't know. I hope that today wasn't a fluke though. He's always had a hard time waking up in the mornings. So much so that he would sleep through most of the morning at school, thus missing out on a lot of learning. When he went in, he was on 1000mg of Depakote but for some reason they lowered it to 500mg. The had increased it to 750mg and now it's back up to 1000mg. Duh. I've been trying to get ahold of the Dr to talk to her about that but never got a call-back from her. Thanks doc. I really hope that now he will be able to control himself and his anger better again. He's still not on level yet.
We had a good visit yesterday. We took him two little lego sets so he was more interested in them than visiting with us. That was okay. As long as he's having a good day and the visit goes well, it's not the length of it that matters.
E is totally potty trained during the day at home now. Sadly, out home and my parents' home is the only place she'll use the potty. She refuses to use anyone else's potty. Daddy took her to visit his dad yesterday and she wouldn't use his either. I can understand not wanting to use public toilets. They are big and loud. I get that. But, a regular toilet, in a home? What's wrong with that? Daddy even had her little Elmo potty seat with them so that it would be more like home but she was having nothing to do with it. Again, she refused, screaming until she peed herself. Poor kiddo. She'll get it. Just trying to be patient. Lord knows, I've learned to be patient over the last several years from dealing with C. We'll get through it all. Eventually ;)
