So today has been 3 weeks since Drew started medication. At first I saw some minor improvement but didn't really feel there was a WOW effect...but when I look back to where we were 3 weeks ago, 3 months ago... well you be the judge..
This was a few months ago. Drew hiding in the basement, tucked away in his "skweezer" (http://www.etsy.com/listing/55597817/solid-color-therapeutic-spacial-body?ref=pr_shop) during a thunder storm. Btw, the "skweezer" ROCKS!
And now 3 weeks into meds we have this...
This was on the way to school this morning. Drew had already checked the weather and knew we would have some storms today but he was still ALL smiles (and Cole as well... but he LOVES the rain!) Oh and btw Drew is back to eating the same thing EVERY day for lunch... I guess it could be worse . But sometimes he wants it for dinner as well. Not the hill I'll die on ;)
Which means weekly trips to IKEA and Trader Joe's (not that I mind!). And Dawn, this means you need to get that car from your kid!!
Yes THIS kid (not the dog).. Michaela I am talking to YOU!! Back away from the car.. for one day, please <3
OK well I digress .. sorry ;). SO today during school pick up it POURED!! Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, the WORKS.... and once we got home it was still raining and pouring and this, my friends (and family) was Drew...
UPSTAIRS, smiling, playing on the computer, blinds OPEN(he used to close them) and no tears. HOLY SH*T.... I think we may have our WOW effect!
Now don't get me wrong, we are still dealing with a tiny bit of anxiety but NOTHING like before... Thank you pharmaceuticals!!
And because we were soaked from the rain we decided to make the rest of the day PJ day....
The boys are off from school tomorrow so I think I'll put my feet up, pour a glass of wine(or 2!) and enjoy the WOW....
Happy Thursday :)




a glass or two? PLEASE, try 4 or 5 :)
