Well, praise the Lord, my son is doing so well. He is on zoloft 25 mg for a chemical imbalance causing depression. I really never knew children could have that unless they were truly depressed from enviromental reasons, but now I know and understand. He is more social, and is doing a play currently called "High School Musical". He is Zeke, and he was so good in it..today was the first performance. His sweet, wonderful 5th grade teacher was there and she brought her nieces and mother, and his friend, Levi came with his mother and my good friend, Tracy, and my precious daughter came with her four children and one of her children's friend. Jared had the support on his first debut of a whole row. We were all so proud of him and I'm so thankful of the wonderful support of his friends and family. He felt funny on zoloft at first, so I would cut them in half, then he needed more, so we would alternate 1/2 one night, then one whole one night...now he takes the whole one every night and is doing very well.
Wow, what beautiful weather we are having today! High of 77, low of 59. It reminds me so much of visiting Colorado in July and getting away from the Kansas heat. And there is little wind today, which is wierd for Kansas, but I hear we will have gusts tomorrow...so plan to enjoy this day outside as much as possible. On my agenda is painting our rental house inside and out, so outside it is for today! For all those that read this journal, may God be with you today and shine His favor on you!

Just read my sister's blog. My prayers are with you today, my sweet sissy. I know you are enduring so much and I have no idea why you have to go through all this pain. It makes my heart so heavy and frustrated too at the same time, that I can't fix it! I love you! Little chilly today, not at my best attitude...attitude is important to me. If I'm a little down, I like to hide away so others won't have to get down with me. I'm not sure what is wrong with me today. I do have a headache from my neck, been dealing with that a lot more lately...surgery is on the horizon and I'm ready. But I think what is really bothering me is overwhelm. After getting the rental almost done, then we hit it hard on the taxes as we got audited for 2005. Then it seemed like I had some kind of appointment every day this week, and I'm just longing for a day off where I can sit in my jammies as long as I want to. My sweet daughter and her partner, Mike (they are paramedics), have been sheetrocking an office for me in my basement. My husband i know wants to dig in there, but he's been working overtime all week. I want to help so bad, but my neck keeps me from it. So I just watch the little ones which is a joy. Well, I decided I'm going to rest an hour before my first appt. today at 11am, so everyone that reads this may God's favor be with you today!

I love you too, sis. It's hard knowing that we can't fix things in each others lives. All we can do is try to be there for each other and try to be supportive, and even that's hard to do when we are both down at the same time...lol. I'll always try to be there for you when I can, but you have to let me know. People are not really good at reading minds and sometimes they are not good at taking hints either..lol. Love you. Hugs and kisses.

It's 4am, and I've been praying for my son. He is 11 and they have started him on zoloft 25 mg. It seems like a lot watching him go through this foggy brain. I asked him tonight to review the day for me and he said it's like he doesn't have a brain at all, he can't think, so he can't speak either. This was day 3 on the rx, so I'm praying this is just a temporary thing with this drug and it will go away. If not, I will take him off of it. It's so hard to watch him go through this. I so wish it was me, not him. He seems to be sleeping well now. I'm watching him sleep... so concerned. He has an appt. tomorrow with the pyschiatrist who prescribed this so hoping for some answers. Truly struggling with sending him to school tomorrow at all.
