a new medication for lilia

she still occasionally tries to sufficate sebastian. anyways shes watched very carefully and stopped right away. we had a team meeting in t.o last week. we had transplant social (tx) worker, tx pyscologist, tx. pyscatrist, and her school principal and the school for the deaf pyscologist present. we had a long chat. and decided to try and medicate her for her aggressions. her ped is starting her on respirdal today. a low dose to see if it helps (this was okayed by the tx team as well). its not only this new behavious problem but she has issues with school too. last year she gave a boy a black eye, pulled hair...was very agressive. on the bus shes pretty hard to manage too (surprised she hasnt been kicked off yet). we have questions as to wether she is bipolar...but the shrink said its too early to tell. especially with her being developementally delayed, and behind in both speech and asl. she also mentioned that lilia might be hearing voices, telling her to do things. but again becuase of the lack of communication its hard to tell. either way we are hoping this works. it was a very hard choice to medicate her for this, but we need to do something she has so many issues and struggles so much.
