Because it is worth a post

It can not go with out note that we are once again seeing alot of this -

As I stated in a previous post, K has been on a new medication with the goal of preventing migraines, and the side effects were wreaking havoc on him {and us...}.

It seems like right around the 2 week mark of being on this medication we began noticing his body adjusting to it.

He began to get his concentration and longer attention span back

And is definitely smiling more.

Have I mentioned lately that his smile is one of my favorite sights in the whole entire world? It is.

More than anything, I am just so incredibly proud of this little man.

I know it must have been horrible to feel all chemically off balance and weird with this new medication.

You could just tell by watching him when he would flip out that he felt really jittery and off.

We talked to him over and over about how much we understood that this was really hard for him, but that he had to use restraint. He had to teach his mind and body to stop and take a few minutes to regain his composure.

How hard is that? For a seven year old!

We have watched him intentionally hold back and bring himself under control several times over the past few days and it is crazy amazing to see him making these victories.

Does he still throw fits? Um, yes. -Just like any 7 year old with a great huge sin nature (Or even like a 29 year old recovering sin adict). :) But - the difference between right now and a week ago is really big.

The best news of all? He is still migraine free. In a few days he will reach a milestone of longest migraine free streak in at least 7 or 8 months.
