Things Going Basically OK Still

(4ml prozac, probiotics, 1/2 magnesium, 2 drops of D3 250mg of zithromax)

Ewen has been going to soccer camp this week and he likes it. He has been a bit more twitchy and I am going to give him a Zithromax today. He hasn't had one since Saturday because I was going to do what he Dr said and just give him one a week at 500mg. But when he doesn't have one for a couple of days he gets more and more twitchy. He has a weird nose tic now too where he scrunches it a lot.

I want to come down on his prozac since that has been linked to facial tics but he is happy and I want that to stay.

I am also taking Prozac and I really like feeling calm about stuff instead of worried about things all the time. But it affects my motivation too.

I am loving this summer. We can all get up at whatever time we want to. We took Ewen a bit late to camp this morning. I'm not going to worry about rules or responsibilities...just relaxation and fun for a while, especially since we can't afford to go on vacation this summer.  I did make the kids some chore lists for the summer and they are doing them. That makes my life much easier. My oldest makes breakfast for herself and for my youngest in the morning and  she has been making waffles with fresh strawberries and organic chocolate sauce. Then she empties the dishwasher. My youngest makes her bed and washes the bathroom sink...every morning.

Today they all get their surprises for doing all of their chores all week long. The girls got an expansion pack for their Sims game and Ewen is getting two magic cards he has been coveting for a while. Next week they have to do all of their chores without any reminders from me to get their checkmarks that lead to their Thursday surprise...we will see if that works!

I have lots of editing to do today and then the girls and I will pick up Ewen from soccer camp this afternoon. I hope he is having a good day.

Out of the Hole

( 4ml Prozac, fish oil, 1/2 magnesium, probiotics, 1mg melatonin) Today Ewen went to a birthday party a couple of hours from home and had a lot of fun. He hung out with his dad a lot today which is what he used to do before he got sick. When he got sick he completely switched from Mike to needing me 24/7. He was not interested in hanging out with Mike. Daddy was all about watching soccer, playing soccer, enjoying everything that Ewen was good at and going out and having fun. Mommy was there to make sure he was feeling OK. So he switched from Mike to me. I realized this morning as Mike got up early to get Ewen's soccer stuff together and go to the store to get a present for the party, that he was taking over his old role as Ewen's care taker. I like that because Ewen has to be so active all the time that I don't have time to spend with the girls. So if Mike focusses on Ewen with his crazy social life and activities, I can focus on the girls and everything else. It was re...

Friday, Day 5 Antibiotics - Another Good "Really Fun" Day

(7:45am probiotics, 4pm 4ml Prozac, 1 Zithromax, 8pm Clonodine-a very tiny 1/4, and probiotics) This morning we left the house early so we could go to Starbucks and get some hot chocolate before school. Ewen's carpool buddy liked that too. Ewen was in good spirits, then when we got to school I walked in the classroom with him to help him carry his stuff. One of his classmates said, "Ewen, do you have your book report?" Ewen: "When is is due?" Classmate: "Today!" So I went to his teacher and apologized that he hadn't done his book report and that he would do it this weekend. I thought about how we have a wedding all day on Saturday and he has an out of town game on Saturday, then another out of town game on Sunday. But I told her we would get it done. She said he could turn it in next Friday. He will have to get up in front of the class and present it so it is a big deal book report. He has been so spacy, filled with procrastination and avoi...

Still Chugging Along

It has been almost a month now since the terrible effects of the prednisone.   This morning I gave 50 mg hydroxyzine and 500mg of phenibut and she still said she wasn't feeling great at 11:30am. So I gave her 3 droppers of Valerian Calm, which seems to offer a small boost of happiness sometimes.   I stopped her 5HTP and replaced it with 10mg of fluoxatine. But yesterday she said she was having a hard time peeing. So if that happens again we will have to re-evaluate.   After she is comfortable on an SSRI I want to start the minocycline antibiotic, but I don't want to do that until I get her SSRI support up incase the antibiotic makes her feel worse I read minocylcine can have negative psychiatric effects for some people). I have maxed out her supports with the phenibut and the hydroxyzine and have nothing left to give if the minocycline does something weird neurological too.  So to support myself, I took 20mg of fluoxatine (prozac) last night and feel w...
