Back to UVA this week to follow up on ADHD meds for Olivia. we've upped the dosage once and it's working well at pre-k. Her appetite is definitely affected at the beginning of the meds and when we upped the dosage, but seems to level off after about a week. She's lost a pound or two, and we're keeping an eye on that, it seems to be coming back up now. We'll be meeting with her teacher soon to discuss what's best for Olivia next Fall. Also got her fitted for a new brace for her right foot @ UVA this week, she picked a purple one with rainbow velcro :) It'll be taller than her current one, but will help her with dragging her right toes. We'll have to go back to C'ville in a few weeks to get the brace, then follow up with Dr Norwood in 4 months, then back to Dr Montero in 6 months, so we'll be seeing a lot of 460 & 29 in the upcoming year :) Getting ready to schedule Olivia's CT head scan to prepare for surgery end of April. Also, she has show an enormous amount of "anxiety" at dentist trip last week and hair cut appt today :( She's fine until it's time for her to sit in "THE CHAIR" The DREADED chairs...but I pray that most of her reaction is from her age and she'll outgrow it (please!). Madi did fine w/haircut once I held her.
Madi is wonderful, doing great at daycare still and learning new words every day it seems. Her fav's are "Where'd it go" while throwing her hands up; "Sissy!"; "Look" while pointing; among others...she will say two if you say one, she's going to be a smart cookie :)
