Phone Call

If you read my main blog, you read that Eli's doctor called and trapped me half naked in a dressing room while the store was closing tonight. That was kind of scary. But the bottom line of the call is that they were asking my approval to do a med change. They are stopping the Depakote (THANK GOD - IT DIDN'T WORK ANYWAY), and they are staring him on Tegretol, which is an anti-convulsant medication. They said that it works better than Depakote, and with children his age they've had a much better success rate. It sounds as if they have lowered the dosage of meds to the point where they are now starting to add some stuff back in, so we'll see. He's never tried this, and as with all new medications, I'm hopeful that maybe this is IT. The "magic pill" that will bring my little love back to me. I'm not naive, though...how many times and how many meds have I prayed and hoped for this? We'll see...maybe it will bring him around enough for us to get to spend Friday with him. Please God, let this be a positive change for him...

I am praying that this is "it". How wonderful that would be!

Missing you already; but hoping you are enjoying your time with Norman.
