Here we go again...

Well so much has gone on since the last time I posted. Josh has been on yet another seizure med. This time they put him on Triliptal because the Lamictal was making his tummy hurt and making him vomit just about every day. Then he has been having severe anxiety to the point that he makes himself throw up about 2 to 3 times a week. We have been to a GI specialist at Choc, which I have to say I was not impressed with at all. He basically told me that Josh was obese and constipated. Josh is over weight but it is only because of taking Risperdol and as far as constipation goes, he has no problem in that area either. After getting an upper GI and blood work we have decided not to go back to that doctor and to pursue other areas of treatment. His upper GI came out just fine and so did his blood work. He was supposed to get an MRI of his brain but when he arrived at the hospital he had a major panic attack and threw up all over. The MRI department refused to do it and said we would have to do it under general anesthesia. Well I do not want that because it is only a follow up MRI and not an emergency. That is basically where we are. One more thing Josh can read now and got another 100% on his spelling test. I really think that this new school is the answer we all have been praying for. Thank you God!!!
