...............1 down 7 more to go

Yesterday I had to call Zachary's peditrician to get a refill on 1 of his meds and I asked if we can d/c 1 of his others. We had discussed stopping it back in the beginning of February, but Dr. Anwer didn't want to stop it before his surgery seeing he was going to be enduring alot of stress, fear, and anxiety. Zachary has been on this kick on not wanting to take his "Drugs". He has it in his mind that they are bad, and illegal and the cops are going to arrest him for doing "Drugs". We have tried to tell him they are not illegal and ordered by the doctor so they are ok drugs. We even had a friend of ours who is a cop tell him its ok. The cops won't take him or his drugs because they are ordered by the doctor. He still doesn't believe it so I thought I should ask if now is a ok time to try to take away this specific medication. We are going to give it a try and see if we notice any changes. He may have to go back on it, but if we can stop 1 maybe that will make him feel a little better that he isn't taking as many.

I don't blame him for not wanting to take medications, but in some situations you have to. His father doesn't help this matter because he is against meds too and is always commenting on the medications. Sometimes I would like to slap him up side the head for saying things. I am one to say if it helps you then thats great, but if it makes you worse (mixing with each other and causing all those side affects) then its not great. Luckily none of Zachary's mix with each other and cause any side affects. Some of the meds will not be taken away for awhile and if they do it will be when he is in patient for his seizure testing and medical staff will be on hand. I am scared when they start to wean the seizure meds for the EEG monitoring. But with God and the medical team I am sure he will be safe. Its just me being worried.

This week is Spring Break for the kids. I am off on Thurs/Fri and we are going to have some mommy & kids time. We are going to go to a museum on Thurs (they haven't decided yet), and Friday will be relaxing & hair cut day. I sure need to get the grays taken care of. LOL

Hope everyone has a great Easter.
