Crazy crazy week!

Wow, this week was CRAZY! We are trying a new medication--yes, I guess I am a Ritalin mama now--for my dd with autism. The Ritalin worked and then just suddenly stopped working and she went nuts. I spent hours trying to calm her down...I'm physically and emotionally exhausted. Beyond exhausted. I watched Mozart and The Whale again last night just to get a greater picture into how she is feeling and thinking so that I could be more compassionate. Today she started Concerta which is supposed to not run out as quickly as Ritalin, goodness I hope it works, we can't have another week like this!!!
