What we are dealing with now
Behavioral issues still. Morgan had a rough time over the holidays. Not sure if it was because of not being at home, in her comfort zone, being overstimulated with all that was going on, or being out of her routine. She was very agitated at times. Thankfully, we were able to spend a lot of time outdoors, which makes her happy. I think some of the behaviors are from her not being able to handle her emotions and throwing temper tamptrums from not getting her way. So in a way, she is developing by expressing herself. However, it makes life difficult for our family. So thankful for mine and Billy's understanding families. Rather than going to my inlaws for Christmas as planned, they came to our house. That way, we didn't have to travel with Morgan and she was able to be at home, where she definitely is more happy.
Also, we have been adjusting some meds with Morgan. Ones meant to calm her actually seem to have the opposite effect on her. Also, she has a very hard time weining off of medications. There is a withdrawal phase with her which is almost worse than the side effects of the medicine. Also, if she is on too many supplements, she has an adverse effect. She seems to do better with just getting good nutrition in her diet. The smoothies I give her daily she loves and seem to be keeping her well so far this year, when the flu has been all around us.
Next on our things to do is to get a blood test to check and see what specifically she is deficient in and supplement only in what she needs. This, along with a gluten free diet, has helped my mom with her migraines. We are always hopeful and always looking for ways to help Morgan. Thank you all for your continued prayers. We really feel Gods strength during this time.
