So Far, So Good!

Ryder has officially been on his meds for a week now. So far, so good! We have seen no side effects. Tonight we increased to the full dose so we are continuing to pray that the medicine will only help him and not cause any adverse effects in him. I have another reason to be thankful I can stay at home with my sweet boy....I should know very quickly if anything changes in him since I pretty much spend every waking moment with him (which is a huge privilege). We're also thankful to have a good pharmacist for a friend, Kaysey. She told me today that it could be around 9 weeks before we see any results of the medicine working. 9 weeks sounds kind of close to eternity! She did say that if there were going to be any negative effects, we would likely see those soon. Still praying for none of that, but it's good to know that we wouldn't have to keep him on a drug for that long and then have to start all over again. Please keep praying with us that this medicine will be what Ryder's body needs and we don't have to go through a lot of trial and error to find the right thing for him.

Thank you for walking this road with us and for all the notes, calls, and texts this week. We appreciate the love, support, and encouragement so much.
