The Medication Quandry

I find it absolutely incredible the public and even professional debate that occurs when the concept of medication and kids' neurological issues comes in to play. One just doesn't hear the same rhetoric with any other organ in a child's body. Perhaps it's because the brain is such an enigma still, perhaps it's because the brain is what makes us all who we are; all I know is everyone and anyone appears to have an opinion on it.

This is my view, if your kid is neurologically healthy, intact, stable, happy, healthy then more power to you. However, if that same parent or adult chooses to judge another parent with a neurologically impacted child, well honestly, go and soak your head. I certainly wouldn't judge a parent of a child with diabetes and the med they go with to help their kid! In reality anything that is neurologically altering bothers the hell out of most normal folks, and so it should. It took several years, many more episodes and a broken acoustic guitar over a grown man's back to get us to go that route.

It saved my son's life.

When your 4 year old announces he can fly and opens the car door at 65 mph on the highway come back and judge.

Today I have a happy, healthy, hormonal (in a NORMAL way) funny, creative 11 year old. You want to judge our choices? Still soaking that head, bloody hope so!!!!???
