The New Josh

The past few weeks we have been excited to meet the new and improved Josh. We seemed to have finally found the right combination that has turned our difficult son into an altogether pleasant and fun child. We did an experiment that started with removing all medication, cleaning out his system, and then taking a good look at Josh and making the necessary adjustments. It was pretty touch and go for awhile. One week we could barely keep him awake, the next week he only slept in 45 minute intervals, his mood and behavior was all over the place. But now he is happier and more successful than he has ever been in his entire life and he is on very little medication. We have made a lot of changes in how we handle him and are really enjoying the results. We are hoping this period of stability lasts quite awhile. Originally posted June 2011
