This will be short. I am working on Julia's first life book and I want to finish it as soon as I can. Still, I am sure that it will be another week before I am done.
*Saw the drug doc today. He suggested an antidepresant -- an SSRI -- to work on Julia inability to handle transition. I want to read some about them before we add a third drug to her routine. We are staying with the Aderrall 10 mg rx and adding .5 mg Guanfacine in the evening, giving her .5 mg mornings and 1 mg at night.
*Julia had a tantrum today at school. Morning transition from drawing to math. She took a shorter time to calm down but had to be taken out of the class room for her to calm down.
* Talked to Marilyn further about Julia's inability to do reciprocal interactions. Looking to see what we can do to make up for her earliest neglect -- mimicking mommy and daddy as a very young baby. I am going to try makeup this week. More on this later.
*Drawing. Just more wow! Need to take more pictures. A surfing penguin in an ocean of blue and brown -- the brown lines to show motion.
*Lots of hospital make believe.
