Chase started feeling better last night. He had a couple of his friends stop by and play a game with him so that really cheered him up. He enjoyed that. He also slept well last night. He went to bed around 9:45 PM and slept until almost 5:00 AM. That was nice. I got up and gave him something light to eat and some pain medication and then he went right back to sleep. So I took advantage of that and did the same.
Today had actually had a pretty good day. He's having to take less medication and he's not sick anymore. His doctor had started him on some ritalin and was going to combine it with an antidepressant but then thought that was what was likely making him sick. So he had us take him off of it and see how he did. Well as I said, yesterday and today we didn't give it to him and he's no longer nausiated. So I think we found the culprit. :) We're also not having to give him pain medication as often either so that's great! He was eating better and drinking more as well as being in better spirits.
He had speech and physical therapy this afternoon and it went quite well. In physical therapy they worked with balance and coordination. Then in speech they worked with more problem solving skills, staying on task (attention & staying focused), some math and organizing thoughts. All in all it was a little slow but he did pretty good.
Now we're back home and he's pretty wiped out so he's resting. Stay tuned for next time.
Love,
Michelle
