Quinn made it through his first week on Depakote. So far so good. I only forgot 2 doses. (Bad Mommy!!) We've been sprinkling his meds on top of a teaspoon fulll of frosting. Quinn loves his "mess-a-cine" and looks forward to taking it every day. It's a "Depakote Dessert." All epileptics should try it. And since our boys are so competitive, I have to give Chase a little frosting on a spoon for him too. Just so they don't feel left out, I get my share of frosting by licking my fingers after I administer the "messacine."
So I'm on a mission to document if the Depakote is having an effect on Quinn's speech and language. Tonight Quinn has a performance at his preschool's graduation. His class is singing a song. On the way home from school, I asked him what song he was going to sing for us. Quinn babbled out some name that had the word "poop" in it. I looked at him and asked, "Are you being silly.?" Quinn says, "No mommy" and broke out in a song I've never heard before. His lyrics were not understandable, but he sounded like he knew what he was singing. LOL I can't wait.
In two weeks we will have a blood draw to find out if Quinn is tolerating the Depakote well and if he's on the right dosage. That's all for now.
