Past Few Days

Tuesday night - 500  mg Zithromax 4ml prozac, melatonin, fish oil, 1/2 magnesium, b12 1000mg
Wednesday day, working hard to not be anxious all day, depressed at night.

Wednesday night - 4ml prozac 1/4 of a 3mg melatonin, fish oil, b12
Today - Thursday...better than Wednesday but still dissatisfied and "addicted to fun" as he puts it...always needing to be entertained. I took his phone away when he wanted to play in the car. I didn't want him to go from his computer screen to his  phone screen and never be looking away. I worry when he feels like he has to distract himself all the time.

After his first dose of Zithromax he was in bad shape the first two days then better by the 3rd.

Tonight - 1/4 Clonodine (I wanted him to sleep better tonight after his depression and freak out last night).  fish oil.

He is still awake. It is 10:40 and he fights going to sleep and he fights getting off the computer.

I am still doing better on the Prozac but it makes me tired and despondent. My Dr. told me to add Wellbutrin back into the mix. So I will do that. She said she wants me off all meds in a year and that made me feel better.

I think that as long as Ewen is struggling, I will struggle too. He is doing much better than before and we can live OK like this. But I worry.

The Chair of the Pediatric ER Wrote Back!!!!!

Ms. ....... Thank you very much for bringing your son’s case and experience to our attention. First of all, I hope that Owen is still doing much better. I absolutely understand how devastating this could be in terms of a missed opportunity to appropriately diagnose. I have to say that in reading your email and updating my knowledge about the condition, I could see how it may be quite difficult to make a diagnosis accurately in an Emergency Department setting and I could see why things occurred in the manner in which they did. That said, I am very sorry that we let you and your family and your son down in this way. Our Pediatric Emergency Department are staffed by a group of very expert pediatric emergency medicine specialists trained in some of our nation’s leading teaching institutions who I was able to recruit here to ...........  to take care of our community. I know that the fact that we were not able to expeditiously diagnose your son’s condition caused a great deal o...

Spring Break 2017 Update

4ml Prozac, 500mg Zithromax 3x a week, 1.5 mg melatonin, less than a quarter of Clonidine Ewen is doing well. Right now he is vacuuming and mopping the whole house (all 850 square fee lol) To earn an hour of screen time playing Overwatch. We have had a few hiccups. He got in major trouble in school for hacking into the computer and writing silly things on a class web page. He said he didn't realize he would get a referral and get in so much trouble since he wasn't hurting anyone and would never bully. He also dropped his grades because he was too busy having fun with his friends. So Mike and I had a meeting with his teachers. He now has a 504 plan since he has had lots of absences.  We are paying close attention so that we can make sure he completes his assignments. Last month he was having trouble with tics (mostly huffing) and anxiety and so his pediatrician put his Zithromax up to 500 mg every day for a full week. That completely helped and was amazing to get him back...

Titrating Prozac (Really Low and Slow)

Ewen is in his bedroom editing an Agario video. Since he is doing video editing I'm calling it a part of homeschool. I also have some work for him to do on the dining room table this afternoon. We have his first acupuncture appointment this afternoon. It is going to cost $90. I'm not sure if it will do anything to help since today was our 2nd day of Prozac and I am sure that meds interfere with natural and holistic treatment. But we will try. Maybe it will help? I'm giving Ewen barely any Prozac this week to start off with. It comes in a liquid and we are supposed to be giving him 1 ML...which apparently is very low. But yesterday I gave him .1 ML, to get his body used to it. And today I gave him a smidge under .2 ML's. There is no reason not to titrate it so low. He is so ultra sensitive that I want to give his body time to get to know the drug before we put it up enough to make a difference. He did so badly on the Lexapro that I think this is the right way t...
