4pm 4ml Prozac and 1 Zithromax, 8pm tiny bit of Clonodine and probiotics
Ewen woke up tired and miserable this morning. He went to school without a smile on his face and when we got there he asked me if he could be homeschooled again. I told him that Grandma and Grandpa spent a lot of money on him going to this private school and that this is where he goes now. He said OK and moped into the classroom. He had also forgotten his notebook with his homework in it so I told his teacher and she sad that was OK today. It was the first time he has done that. It was very hard leaving him like that and then getting up enough oomph and motivation/happiness to properly face my work at home day. But I reminded myself that he gets better during the day and actually got some editing done and actually cleaned the gross kitchen...which only took 15 minutes so I have to remind myself of that.
I was right about him getting better during the day. When he came home a little while ago, his huffing was much less, he was in a good mood and did his homework right away before he went to play Minecraft on his computer. He said he had fun at lunch and playing basketball at recess. So maybe things are getting better. We will see how falling asleep tonight goes.
UPDATE: It is 11:55 pm and Ewen was OK going to bed. He still has some tics: squeezing his muscles repetitively, huffing, squeezing his feet muscles and banging his legs on the bed. But they are not done with vigor, they are just done and he still falls asleep. I give him the tiniest bit of Conidine now and I am hoping that will get rid of his depression. He did say tonight, oh no, Thursdays at school are full of work. I told him to stop being so negative and think of something positive that was going to happen tomorrow. He said that they were going to annihilate the U12 team in soccer (they have a game tomorrow) and it was so nice to hear him be positive about soccer again (yes, that is positive). He said it with a smile too. I'm hoping that at some point I know that he thinks he is going to have a good day at school and that everything is going to be OK. I would love for that to happen. I asked him tonight if he was feeling better physically since the antibiotics were going to help knock out the bacteria that he has been fighting off for God knows how long. He wasn't sure if he felt any different. To help him fall asleep at night I massage his feet and back and even his forehead and the back of the head. I do what I read online is the best massage techniques for helping his freaking-out little system. Also, when my friend who is a massage therapist gave him a massage, she told me the best things to do for anxiety (rub his head). He seemed a little bit calmer and happier tonight. But there is still plenty of room for improvement.
