A Little Catch Up

4ml prozac, probiotics, melatonin, magnesium, D3 oil

It has been a long time since I posted. Ewen is still doing well and seems to regress a bit the last day or two before he takes his antibiotics again. He still takes 500 Zithromax once a week. We tried breaking it up into 250mg over 2 days but that didn't work for him at all, he got anxious again and even got some tics back.

He is still doing well in middle school although he is getting a B in math which is weird. He is in a grade ahead with math...in the advanced 7th grade math class. But it is still strange he isn't getting an A. He is getting an A in all his other classes though. The only reason he has a B is because he doesn't go back and check his work before he turns in a math test and makes dumb little mistakes that could have easily been caught with a check-over. But I don't want him to become like the overachiever on the Breakfast Club so I just say, a B is good too...but check your tests before you turn them in.

He is doing well with soccer and rides his bike all over town now with his friends. They go looking for Pokemon with Pokemon Go and he has a Starbucks card so he can get snacks when he is Downtown. He loves the freedom. I worry so much about him and check his location all the time on "find friends". I hate giving him so much freedom but he needs it so I swallow my fear and let him go. He can't bike downtown by himself though. He has to be with friends.

I need to tell our pediatrician that he has a hard time the day before his antibiotics dose. I wonder if she will tell us to give him 250 a day every day. I hope not. I don't want him on massive amounts. I was thinking that we could give it to him every 6 days instead of every 7. I will see what she says about that.

We tried to taper off the Prozac but he got anxious a couple of times and so I just slowly put it back up to his regular dose of 4ml's.

And we chug along and I am so thankful that he is doing well.  He is fairly happy and very amiable and sweet to me and people in general. His teachers love him. He is respectful and smart and laughs a lot so that is helpful for him in general.

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

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 of an

Good Day Good Summer - And My Oldest

(Just under 4ml prozac) Ewen has been doing fantastic. He has been hanging out with my sister and her family and talking and engaging with them. He has gone in the pool several times at his own will. He fell asleep on his own tonight and said that he felt rested and happy to fall asleep. I love that. His facial tics ( new nose twitch too) were in full form tonight. But he didn't huff. Maybe he traded the huffing for the nose twitch. My oldest (age 13) is going to a girls indie music camp this week. It is from 9am-5pm and on Monday when I picked her at 5pm up she started sobbing in the car and said she didn't know why. She said she loved it  but it was too long. I guess it was too much because she had to socialize for 8 hours (she has autism) and that was a bit much for her. Then she cried while trying to go to sleep at bed time and cried again at 4am. She was so depressed that I had to sit up with her at 4 and I got out her old baby books like Goodnight Gorilla and Goodnigh
