So, after 3 years of medication trial and error, sleepless night after night, eating, not eating, constant whining, and bizarre behavior, we are finally getting some where. Last night I had to keep Deric awake all night for a sleep deprived EEG test. The psychiatrist that he sees wants to see what is going on in his head, perhaps there are frontal? lobe seizures that he is having that could create some of the problems that Deric has. He has started some new meds also. After trying several ADHD meds and sleep aids, he is on Abilify for the mood stabilizing effect and today he started Intuniv for the ADHD and sleep problems. Cross your fingers, pray, or do whatever you think is going to help Deric. He has slept pretty much all day today, can't tell whether it is from the meds or sleep deprivation. we will see over the course of the next few days i guess.
I am going to have to catch up with his teacher tomorrow because I missed his PTC. I fell asleep and slept right through the alarm. ugh.
