Day 2 on New Meds

So far it's difficult to tell exactly what the new medication, Risperidone, is doing. I think it may be taking the edge off Mason's impulses. They are still happening, but he's also been at school and away for respite tonight. He is still unusually hyper with a short attention span and extreme stubbornness. But we have seen no negative side effects so far!!!! :) :)

I spoke with a friend who is a nurse working with psychiatric patients. She is very familiar with this drug and was able to answer a lot of questions I had. Thanks ML!!!

I'm so glad that you have someone to talk to about this...waiting can be a very exhausting process. You're all in our prayers!
