Appt with Dev Pediatrician Today

we went to the Univ of Chicago Hosp to try and find some help with aggression and hyperactivity levels which are both escalating.

This Doctor rather went the opposite way of more medication.  In fact, he wants the Risperdal dose decreased in time -- which made DH very happy.  We're both just very disillusioned with constantly increasing meds every 2 months and then ending back up where we were once he adjusts to the new dose.  I have a feeling the school will not be happy.  They seem to want more medication.

We got a referral to the Behavioral Therapy program at Illinois Masonic, which I was really hoping for.  I'll be calling there Monday.  The Doctor said he would call this afternoon and speak to the Director, and she would fast track our appointment. 

So, good news overall -- I hope

The work never ends, huh?

Hang in there!
