Extended family has gone home and we wake up as our little family unit. It's a nice feeling..
As you can see, Owen has lost all his usual cheekiness and naughtiness as the medication does it's work. Seems like a long time since I saw him looking like this. It is only mid morning on a beautiful summers morning and he is tired and cold as he cuddles up with his new bear. Luckily, his tiredness goes away, but his behaviour becomes erratic and has a slump in the late afternoon where he cries uncontrollably for 2 hours. He is aware that his moods have changed and he is not in control and is upset that he cannot cheer himself up. The doctor had told us of the many side effects of his new round of drugs. Behavioural change and weight gain are obvious ones that we have to look forward to.
Back to Royal Childrens tomorrow for another load of medication.
