When it comes to challenging behaviors, you learn to pick your battles. We’ve been doing a lot of battle picking lately. With Kellyanne, we deal with horrific side effects from seizure meds. The good news is, we have decent seizure control right now. The bad news is, we have terrible behavior. Unless you’ve witnessed it, you can’t even imagine what our sweet girl is capable of. I wish I could get inside her head, just to see what’s really going on. I know Kellyanne doesn’t want to behave this way, I truly believe she can’t help it. While she does show remorse when she gets home from school, I don’t think she can stop herself when she is actually in a rage. I’ve been looking for a psychiatrist to assess if there is a medication that can help her in this area, but I haven’t been successful in finding one. They’re either non existent or aren’t taking new patients. I feel so helpless in all of this. I know help is out there, I just have to find it. It’s exhausting…so is picking your battles.
