SHD1/47
Its now 3:45pm at we've just started therapy. The afternoon has been bad with Kaylia in very high anxiety mode. When I got home from work at midday Kaylia had been very anxious all day ... this shows as wanting 'car' .... 'shop' ..... 'slee-poo-poo' .... 'spa' ..... the litany is repeated constantly and only driving in the car can be counted on as a reliable calming tactic. After trying to calm her for an hour without success, I decided to try a top up dose of the medications. An extra dose (20mg) of Lovan didn't have any immediate effect ..... 25mg extra of Risperdal with Painstop too ...she began to calm down. By 3:30pm she was calm enough that she could start therapy.
Later: Therapy went well and she was fine.
After tea, Naomi was to take Zoe shopping in the city ... so it was a good excuse to allow Kaylia another car drive. By mid-drive, she was pretty 'dopey' and she was ready to crash by the time we got home.
Looking back over the past few days, maybe the behaviour we saw today was what school had been coping with recently. Maybe it is time for an overall increase in medication.
Tomorrow I will try an increase in the Lovan and Risperdal.
