One week from today is LMC's appointment with the new psychiatrist.
I am putting all my faith in a doctor I have never met and meds I have spent years avoiding. :-| But,considering we almost took her to the ER last night to be sedated...I have no choice.
Post a whole lot this coming week,okay? I will need the distraction.
I am so sorry. I can't imagine what you are going through. medication is excellent, when it's necessary, and it sounds like it is very, very necessary. Good for you, getting your baby girl the help she needs. You're a good mama. (hugs)
There's plenty of overmedicating kids going on in the world, but that absolutely doesn't negate the fact that medication is the best thing possible for some kids at some points in their lives. It sounds like there's a really good chance LMC is one of this kids at one of those points in her life right now. Good luck.
You're a good mom for doing what has to be done for your child. Don't forget that!!!
My parents didn't want to medicate my brother, but it turned into the absolute best decision they ever made for him. He's so much better now and can live a life like everyone else.
