David has been less challenging today. It may be because Mom was home from work today. Have calls out to the psych team regarding him forcing himself to vomit up his meds. The primary psychiatrist is on vacation until the 14th. Just waiting to hear back from the nurse. What kind of plan do doctor’s have for when they go on vacation? Surely they have someone who follows or can work with their case load while they are absent. Tweet #fighting4answrs
Our son has been a handful lately. I confronted him about it yesterday. I have had very little sleep for the last 2 days. He hasn’t either. His body seems to thrive on 4 hours of sleep.

Well, that makes sure he swallows them, but then he goes into the bathroom and makes himself throw up the pills. He is 10. My heart breaks to think that he is starting this.

Yesterday, I was at my wits end with David. Today, hasn’t been perfect, but it has been much better in that there isn’t as much stress.

David ate 3/4’s of a package of string cheese and drank 2 quarts of Sunny D this morning. No wonder he hasn’t been hungry all day. Tweet #fighting4answrs
