It has been awhile since I've posted...it has been a trying time for us. It is a long story but we have meed through a few medication changes and haven't found a balance that works for Matthew. He is struggling to hold it together and unfortunately isn't able to. We pulled him out of school because not only has he been extremely agitated and aggressive, he has been battling terrible insomnia, nausea and vomiting. It is heartbreaking for us and we don't know how to help him. When he is so dis-regulated I just don't feel comfortable having him out of my sight. To help pass the time (he has MAJOR cabin fever) we took a trip to the San Diego Zoo. Except for one 20 minute blow out, he managed to hold steady and had a great time.
We had a nice afternoon together and Matthew is already asking to go back again.

We met up with a few friend last week to give bowling a try. I was a little nervous given the past few weeks but Matthew enjoyed himself and had fun.

It has been so draining and I am hoping we find that mix that will work for him soon. Meds are hard and when it isn't a right fit, it is arduous. Whe it is a fit, it opens a new world for him so I am hoping and praying we get back to that place soon. I imagine it is awful to feel so uncomfortable in your own skin. I love you Matthew and we will do everything we can to help you through this.

Sorry for what you guys are going through. Hopefully the doc will fund the magic "cocktail" and all will be well soon. xoxoxoxo
I hope by now the downs are done and we are on our way up.
Small world, Natalie was in Kristina's class this past year. At least she looks like her.
Even smaller world, as I got to your blog Elton John's "You'll be blessed" started to play. That was our song while we waited to go get Kristina. I brought tears to my eyes.
