Non Grady related stuff
Well I figure that this blog will be more of a Gina blog about life but a lot about Grady too.
DS#1 started on a new medication to help treat his bipolar manic episodes. (boy is that a mouth full!) . The strange thing about this is while it have very very few side effects. The LOWER doses have a big sedative effect. So within an hour of taking the medicine he is out cold. But we have to walk up the dosage and not just start out at the highest dose. BUT I do have to say today he was wonderful he behaved like himself again. Not perfection (We can never expect that out of anyone) but we did not have the HUGE mood swings, no rages and generally an even temperment! I am so happy I swear I almost cried! It has been a long time coming to have my son behave like this.
I got the Take along swing on Freecycle!!! I hope it is in good shape :) But it is the one I wanted For Grady too :)
OK I am exhausted. Grady is asleep and since he has been sleeping a 6 hour stretche at night... I should be sleeping when he does though it seems I never do.
OH the house bid is in. We will know by Friday if they accept our terms. Praying hard for this
