I went to Jenn's with Mary Kate last Wed... to go to a huge consignment sale in Raleigh, NC... I have gone before and you can get some great deals and I did...
I was mostly looking for baby items for Andrew to use. To encourage him to sit, stand and walk. I felt like I hit the jack pot. He has lots of things we can put him in to encourage posture and being upright....
We came home with Jenn and Ella and Ezra and Jeremiah came up Sunday nite ... We have had a great time with them and they got to meet Gracie and Andrew for the first time... it was a difficult wknd. for Andrew. We have weaned him totally off of his medicine they used to drug him. We gave him his last one forth of a pill Thursday nite and he has had some withdrawl symptoms... for adults coming off of this medicine sometimes they have to be hospitalized. He was so irritable and cranky. He did the same thing last wknd... after we reduced his pill again on Thursday nite... he refused to eat... and then gradually by Tuesday Wednesday he starts taking the bottles... and was somewhat irritable... but this weekend he was a sour puss for 2 days. His self inflicting pain behaviors have come back but they usually surface when he is frustrated and he was this wknd... he was much better today and ate for us....It really makes me mad that he has to go thru this because of being given a medicine that in reality was to drug him so they did not have to deal with him.... but now he is off of it.... PTL
In about 2 weeks I am going to try giving him melatonin to help regulate his sleep at nite. He has gotten better but some nites he still is up until 1 or 2 playing... even after a busy and active day.
Here are some pics of him using some of what I bought....
