Ted's meds

So I had promised an update on those guys.  He started taking Triliptal (yeah that is what we call fo net ick spelling, Bloggy, cause Mama ain't got the time) about four months ago. It is supposed to be a mood stabilizer. Mama should probably crush it and snort it all the live long day.

Of course I was against meds when I folded myself into a pretzel and thought I would grow everything out of my backyard for everyone to eat, but once Ted was old enough to work a chainsaw I thought, hey let's reconsider.

So I took him to the neurosurgeon who gave me his opinion of T, which is maybe Autism but not in any way that would actually affect him except being a PITB in the classroom (you'll figure it out Bloggy), but maybe these meds would help.

I have to say we haven't noticed too much of a difference. At first school was saying maybe they were having a negative effect.  Then he started doing better.  And of course sometimes he says the medication is making him "act goofy".

Now, every once in a while I get taken for a fool.  It doesn't happen often.  But I usually can tell when little piggleton is lying.  So for instance, when I asked why he yelped all day in class he told me he had this song stuck in his head and he couldn't get it out.  I feel like he can't make that up.  But when he says sometimes the medicine makes me act goofy, I start to smell a rat.

I took away all screen time for a bit, which he was not happy about.  But let's be honest, it doesn't help.  For hell yeah it makes my job easier, but in no way shape or form is it good for him.  Snuggle time it is!
