We had tons of fun, it was a beautiful day to hang out at the beach for a bit and walk the trails. We went to my next appointment then had to rush home to meet with Skylar's in home workers. Side note: The reason Skylar has in home workers are to work on her behaviors, emotions, communication and the relationship between me and her and her and Jaxson. Skylar's worker comes two days a week four hours each time. She has a BHP and a clinician that come. The BHP (Behavioral Health Provider) is the one who works with us the majority of the time. The clinician comes for two hours each week and over sees what we are working on and does a little more of the harder activities. At the same time Skylar's workers arrived so didn't Jaxson's. A new girl is going to be working with Jaxson so she was shadowing one of the workers who had been in here for awhile. So as you can imagine it was a very full house. Once everyone was here and settled in I had to leave for a Dr appointment for my back. I fell down the stairs last week with Jax. I thought that I was okay but after a few days the pain wasn't going away. The Dr. said that it was just bruised and prescribed me some extra strength Ibuprofen.
Wednesday Jax had an appointment with the Developmentalist. As I suspected she upped his Zoloft. She said that I have to check in with her in two weeks to let her know how it is going. If his behavior isn't any better then she is going to up it again and have me call in two weeks. She said that we can keep upping it until we get to his cap level. Which I don't know what that is but once we get there she said we will have to try another med. She was also concerned about his weight. I let her know what was going on with it and that I am trying to give him bolus feeds through out the day to make up for him not getting his night time feed. He did gain half a pound from last Thurs when he saw the GI to Wed so that is awesome. His worker arrived at 2 and I had to leave with Sky at 230 so we could get to her eye appointment on time. She hasn't been to the eye doctors in awhile. The reason why we went this time is because she keeps getting headaches and I wanted to look more into the issue. Turns out she does need glasses. These are the ones she chose. They should be coming in on Monday. Between new glasses, starting on new meds for her headaches and going to the neurologist I hope that her headaches/migraines will be more under control. I know how crappy I feel when I have a headache and to have one almost every day just sucks. Today Skylar's BHP came at 10 then I had to bring Jaxson to his dentist appointment at 10:15 luckily just in town. He did a lot better this time then he has at any other time. He has to go every 3 months because its really hard for me to brush his teeth and also to get him familiar to the different instruments that they use with out him freaking out. Tomorrow is Friday and thankfully we have no appointments or workers coming in. Plus my mom is taking Jax either Friday or Saturday night so I can have time to myself. But to be honest I think I may just go big grocery shopping then. Pathetic I know. But it is nice to go shopping without any kids. Parents I am sure you can relate.
So with allllll that being said about what I have had going on this week. I have come to the realization that I really need to incorporate more me time in to my daily schedule. Even if it is like an hour or two a day. I am constantly running around for my kiddos and not taking enough time for myself. I know from past experience that if I do not take enough me time I tend to have a major mental breakdown. Once that happens it takes me a long time to get back on track.
Goal for this week schedule in some much needed me time.
