Baby Boy update
Bipolar, Life, Parenting, Uncategorized January 24th, 2007Baby Boy is coming home from the hospital tomorrow. So far stopping the Depakote and starting him on Neurotin seems to be helping. He’ll have an apt. with his psychiatrist next Tuesday. We’re supposed to discuss weening him to one dose of Geodon daily, keeping him on Neurotin and adding Lithium once he’s been weened off of the Geodon or at least to just an evening dosage.
He sounds so much better now when we talk to him and he no longer thinks he can see & take people’s souls or that his family is trying to kill him. I’m telling you, a hallucinating child is a frightening and heartbreaking thing.
Boy #3 is with his mother this week and with Baby Boy being in the hospital, my nest has been half empty. It’s a horrible thing.

Thank you, danae. The meds do seem to be helping. Honestly, thus far this weekend, aromatherapy has done more to calm him than anything else as he still seems to be quite hypomanic to us.
