Lous appointment August 8th 2012

Lous appointment :)
They changed his setting to 200 and it was 190, his shunt is still pumping to fast even with the shunt assistance. His ventricles are really small BUT the neurosurgeon assitance said that shes really surprised because normally every thing gets really sticky but his isnt :) So got some good news and some bad news today but good thing is it isnt severe so go back in a year if everything goes smooth from here to then♥

Update time♥

Lou is doing really good, No headaches and no vomiting so that is really good! Yeserday -31st of july- he was EXTREMELY HYPER and didnt want to listen to anybody, hes goin thru another 'testing" stages and this is the worst yet :/  He also ate ALOT yesterday, not to sure why but he did, he wanted to eat every hour, hour and a half, its like he's not gettin the full sensation.
Yesterday he also seen his recent psychiatrist therapist and she said hes doin extremely well♥ and that since he is getting to get to go to the school next to the house and no the one all the way down in downtown that she is no longer going to be able to see him :( A new therapist is going to be seeing him said she's real nice♥ so not looking forward of starting all over again with a new therapist but we got to do what hwe have to do. Maybe Lou will adjust well.
Lou is now on Methephenidate for his Adhd and we love it! He went from Ritalin to Methephenidate to Concerta to back on Methephenidate.
Reasons why he changed :

• Ritalin- His anxiety was 110 % worst and it was just terriable.
• Methephenidate- it works wonders but doesn't last long.
• Concerta- Miracle pill BUT kept him up at night til like midnight, we were not goin to put him on a sleeping pill ! 

The reason we went back to methephenidate is because we can handle him at home after the pill is out of his system, its like some traces is still in him and it holds his hyperness down just where hes not driving his self and myself crazy♥
 So thats the upset On Mr Lou :)

Lou is also 99 lbs and standing at 4 ft 3 inches.

Lous weight and Ritilin

Took Lou to the doctor yesterday for his hyperness. They said he does deffniately have ADHD. and wants to put him on medicine. So they prescribed him Ritalin for 5 mgs. We are suppost to give him half of a pill at breakfast and half of a pill at lunch so its 2.5 mgs twice a day for a week. Starting next Saturday we give him a whole pill twice a day so we're booting it up to 5 mgs twice a day.
This week at school has been a A OK week not the best thou. several reds and a couple yellows. but Friday was a Green day:)
Yesterday we went to the dollar tree and picked up stickers and fruit snacks and if he be good during the day he gets a pack of snacks and a sticker:)

Weight for 3-31-2012 ::::: 101.6

:)

Well today is 3-16-2012 and let me tell you Lou has been doin so good for the last week. I havent updated his blog because honestly he was being the same kept getin red and yellow at school and i really dont want to document his bad behavior. But condafind out his teacher was allowin him to use a IPAD2 which is a BIG NO NO but as soon as we found out we stopped them. The IPAD 2 will mess with his shunt and cause him to act really different. but this past week he has been nothing but good at school and i am SOO proud of him. So GOOD JOB LOU!

Lou 2-16-2012

Well Lou had a BAD day today at school :( His teacher said he was super hyper would not listen and didnt follow directions the entire day! He Cursed me this morning and i told his teacher and was not very happy about it And it made Lou very dissappointed in his self. Im really hoping Lou will become better at being his self and quit being so "bad" Iknow he cant help it but something hast to give.
I also made Lou tell Mrs. Duncan that he was sorry how he acted toward her and the other teachers today. So that was a start.
Lou ate 2 salads when he got home so that was good for him. He LOVED them :)
