Doctors, Doctors...

Bub had an appointment with his psychiatrist today. (Love the selfie?:) Even though things at home haven't improved much, he's made HUGE strides at school. (He's on a reading comprehension chart for the first time EVER!) Because of this, the doctor would like to double his meds (same dose but twice a day) for a 6 week trial. She suggested trying to reintegrate Reed & Sheldon on common interests (like ball & bowling) & try to build from there. 

Since he has had an increase in meltdowns while sleeping (night terrors), he's snoring more, he's gained 30 pounds in the last year, & there's a family history, she suggested that we have him do a sleep study to rule out apnea.

He's 118.8 lbs & 4' 10" tall. Talk about a Castleman! 


My little love went to the neuro Wed. She was conflicted about how to address Reed's muscle tone since he has a mix of ataxia & spasticity. She decided to try a very mild dose of meds to see if it prevents spastic episodes, cramps, night waking, etc. We are starting low and slow to see if it helps. Therapy will continue as scheduled. He's 35.5lbs and 39" tall. ❤️
