Thank you so much for sharing your grand...Hi Dawn,<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your grandson's experiences with Baclofen. We have factored that in with the rest of the information we have gathered and, for now, are delaying experimenting with it. <br /><br />You sound like a very involved and caring grand and great grandparent - something that surely eases the burden for your children who are parenting their children with special needs.<br /><br />Wishing you continued strength and health to be there for everyone who needs you.The Sound of the Silenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669598042879486343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505187301023634468.post-35814653741948782442017-03-02T22:55:27.703+00:002017-03-02T22:55:27.703+00:00Well, for different reasons {Serious Mental Illnes...Well, for different reasons {Serious Mental Illness} our Grandson was on that first med you mentioned and his liver began to crap out significantly, along with kidneys and thus recently they have taken him off all Psyche Meds completely and we're coping 'cold turkey', which isn't going as badly as we expected, tho' every day is a new adventure. Alas, becoz he can no longer be medicated and Therapy never works for him we're losing all Services since there is 'nothing they can do' for him now... so I'm Appealing that decision as we speak. So I can relate to the quandry of choosing between the lesser of two evils when it comes to severe side effects from meds that can alleviate symptoms or stabilize one condition only to create yet another serious one. I am so Glad you have found another Caregiver to assist and since she takes over in your presence, and due to her age, I would think she's trying to be very Grandmotherly and treating your Loved one as if she is Family and that can indeed be a real Blessing actually once you adjust to it. As a Grandparent and Great-Grandparent I know my best intentions sometimes get carried away with all the Grands and not just the two Special Needs ones we're raising! *winks* I'm glad my Adult Children are long suffering about any overkill I might have about helping. *smiles* I do hope you will take it easy as much as you are able after your own procedure, had a similar one while being a full time Caregiver and that is a very difficult thing to balance both your needs and theirs while recovering from it.
