Hi Josh has an appointment with his psychiatrist this morning in the city in regards to his risperidone and possibly it's going to get switched...Josh has been on risperidone since he was in kindergarten and he's now in gr.2 and the risperidone doesn't work any longer....Just wanted you all to know what is happening today and just asking you all to think of me and pray for me as i take him to this appointment.

But it ends up breaking the tension. I thought maybe this might help to try. I know how hard it can be and I wish you the best of luck in your journey together.
