From the last post, you know the mets in Russell's brain are getting significantly worse. For those of you who are new, it has been progressing over the last month.
Yet Another Prescription
This one will take the place of his normal anxiety medicine. For all who take medication, each time your doctor proposes you take a medicine, ask him which medicine it will replace and why it is better for you than the one you already take. This is especially necessary for children who take everyday prescriptions.
While this medicine is far stronger, it also takes care of quite a few other things: Some of the tremors; some of the overactive dreaming which interrupts sleep (his and mine); some of the chemical imbalance in his brain; deactivating some of the neural pathways which make his brain function improperly.
More Hands
With the arrival of Momma and Poppa, I have more hands to complete tasks left neglected lately. One more task was added to my itinerary last night...a trip to the pool with the children. Never, ever underestimate the power of water to produce sleep in children...never.
More Eyes
With Poppa and Momma being able to watch out for Russell, I can spend today in the yard ensuring the pooches stay in the yard all the time! What a relief it would be to have them outside on a permanent basis!
It is all about family.
We are a unit and work in the same manner as the military. We are cross-trained to do jobs for one another and watch out for jobs which otherwise might fall through the cracks. Most fun, I am scheduled for a hairdo and a nap. Family is great!
Chin up!
