Change

The one thing that is constant is change. 

Sometimes change is painful and we really don't want to face it at all.

And then other times change is welcomed with open arms.  Our family has been waiting for a change for what seems like forever and lately it really seems like the pieces of the puzzle are really beginning to fall into place for us.  This is big.  Huge.  Amazing. 

It is hard to write about this because so many people have so many opinions and judgements about this topic so I will just get to it.

Blaine is on a new medication and...

It.

Has.

Changed.

Our.

Lives.

I met with two pediatricians last week (Blaine's pediatrician and an ADHD expert that we are consulting with) who helped us put together a treatment plan which we began implementing last Friday.

In just four days we have been amazed at how Mister's life (and our lives) have improved.  He is significantly less aggressive, much more considerate, hyperactivity is down, and attention to detail is improved.  Not to mention his intellect is making appearances all the time now.  Instead of non-verbal action he is communicating with a beautiful vocabulary and he's sharing his knowledge with us.  We're amazed at the change and see now that this will help him achieve so much more in occupational therapy because of this new focus and "calm" he's been given.

Today is a great day.  I actually LOVE being at home now because it's not stressful, frustrating, and constantly challenging. 

And that's a change I can live with :)
