Upped the meds

I knew that breaking the news of more medication would not go well. It didn't. She cried and cried as her breakfast sat in front of her with her vitamins and medication. She kept repeating that she hated school and that they were so mean. The issue of not having friends was brought up, too. Dad and I held her as she cried and tried to reassure her. She had heard it all before and wasn't too interested in hearing it again.

I did get a little breakfast into her before she left for school. Dad offered to drive her since she really did need some time to get back to "normal" before seeing her peers and he was going that way anyway. That seemed to make her happier. She did willingly take all the medication, despite the crying and venting. That showed me some maturity has taken place in the past 4 months. She didn't make me bring out any consequences to just do what was asked even when it wasn't what she wanted. WAY TO GO, C!!!

It will be interesting to hear what the teachers say about behavior today since she is angry at them for saying she is having a hard time focusing in class. Hopefully nothing. She is respectful to others, usually. And then in the coming weeks, we will see if this helps with focus. I am concerned that at some point, we will just have to accept that there is no "perfect" medicine and work with where we are at. I guess we will see.
