Quick update, sadly Molly’s vomiting returned today, the fact Molly is constipated makes me think this is the cause. Note: the new antipsychotic Amisulpride can cause constipation as one of its side effects. Last weekend Molly had an ear infection with a horrible discharge. We ended up at CHOC, she had a high temperature and…

Earlier this week the manager of Mountview informed me Molly has pulled off two of her finger nails, she can be a ‘picker’ but not very often to be honest. Ouch, I thought, that must be so painful! This Easter weekend I collected Molly on Saturday, she was a bit croaky and complaining of a…

Todays teaching was The power of resilience. Resilience is the ability to adapt and bounce back from difficult experiences, developing mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility to cope with challenges and adversity. The teaching was powerful, we all have tough times but I know from my own experience we can always bounce back. Last week I felt…

The secretary said the appointments are like gold dust. Can’t express my gratitude❤️ Now let me see… I am literally dancing! Luv C x

We met today for updates, Molly started the Amisulpride last night. Quetiapine will remain at 150 and continue to be titrated down once the above is in her system. Molly has had a steady ok week and has attended Prism Art twice. Sickness has been less. CDLT will chase and follow up on next steps…
