icky icky

I realize that is not really a mature way of describing a post.

Ha.


Anyhow, this new medicine that G is taking to help with his, ummmmm -- brain?

...is icky.

He doesn't feel great on it,
sleeps LONG,
and is really REALLY hard to wake up.

Sounds like a broken record, right!

But really, he is much harder to wake up than EVER before.

He also wakes up confused....like,
"hey...what happened today?"


Perfect QUESTION
since it is like 2 pm
and I have been
waking him since...oh...7:30 am.

He had an 8:45 am appointment with a dermatologist
[remember --- teens have SOOO much going on,
add brain injury and ya..... i m INSANE!).
I wish ACNE was the worst of our troubles.

Anyhow...lucky for us another family member could use the 8:45 appointment, when mr. B called me about rescheduling Gs appt. he said "1:45 PM (another day) okay?" Yep.

I still tried to wake G up...
something about us going to pay a parking ticket,
buy him a parking pass to avoid future tickets,
counselor appointment at 11 AM,
lunch with mOm. :)

Nope, none of it today.


What IS possible....Spend 6.5 hours of your day trying to wake up a teen with a brain injury.
(there is comfort knowing
that it may be just as hard
 to wake up a normal teen!)


Anyhow, he remembers none of it! 

"hey....what happened today?"


Icky medicine, icky day.

ICKY ICKY!!!


I suppose
 if a
resting brain
heals faster
than
it is
just
what the doctor ordered,

literally.
