Josh is over medicated. At least his family doctor agrees about that point. He is backing him off of one of the anti-seizure drugs that he is taking. So far (since it was cut in half, just 4 days ago) things seem to be getting a bit better. Josh did tell me that he felt less 'lost' yesterday, so that's good. Hopefully after he sees his neurologist next week that we can get him off of more of his drugs and maybe start fresh and see what we have.
He sees a pain specialist on Monday and hopefully we can get him started on steroid shots and that will hopefully help with the pain so he can slowly go down and off the pain patch he is on.
Josh still wants to be able to watch the kids when I go back to work. I think it would be great but we have a long way to go before that will be able to happen. Maybe if we can get him off some of these drugs that throw him off, things might get better.
I will say it again, (which means I know what will happen in the next few days) I haven't seen a seizure in quite a few days. Of course the kids and I are up at the cottage this weekend and Josh is home with the dog. His plan is to at least sand the basement stairs to get them ready for painting. This way we don't have to worry about the paint on the stairs possibly having lead in it and the kids being exposed.
Emily went and had her blood drawn again yesterday and I am praying that her lead level has gone down. If not I am not sure what else to do about it!! She has been on iron supplements for 3 months and hopefully that did the trick!!!
Stay tuned!!!
