Lovely Day

Andy has been having a great time at school. He really likes everyone there, and has been really happy to be there. I am able to drop him off at school and go run errands on my own, it has been nice. I've been praying for him to have a better time lately, and I've been feeling better as well. He's not always happy, but he's been having good days here and there, which is a nice change.

I recently tried to wean Andy off of his Risperdal, but it went very badly on the days that he got no meds at all. So, I quickly started him back on the Risperdal at .25ml a day. When I went back up to anything over .30ml he was way too sleepy at school. We are sticking at .25ml a day, and I don't think I'll try to take him off again until the summer. I'm too nervous for him to have terrible days at school, I think summer break would be a safer time to try it. I was curious to see how he would do without getting the meds, and it didn't seem to be good. I wasn't patient to give it more than a couple days, so for now he will stay on the meds.
