school starting back soon

We just got in from an informational session on a new program starting in our school district that will help teen mothers. I think it is really going to really help her next year as there will not be large classes and there will only be 20 students in the program. She is actually getting excited about it so that will help.

Emily

Emily is having a good day today. She seems to have some of her energy back and is actually smiling today. She had a good nights sleep last night. She went to bed by 10:00 last night and slept all night except for waking to feed Landon around 4 this morning.

Today is not so good

This morning Emily woke up feeling really depressed and not wanting to do anything. She didn't want to even take care of Landon even though she knows she has too. It has really bothered me today how it has been. She hasn't been sleeping well lately and I just dont know if it is because its summer and this is a worse time for her or if her meds are doing it to her. Her mania has been brought down to a minimum lately even though she really gets upset if I tell her NO. She hasn't had many total rages where she was destroying things in a while. I am going to enjoy that while I can.

I took them to the mall tonight and let them eat out there. She has been stuck in the house for a few days so I thought that might make her feel better and it did for a bit. She really didn't want me to leave her and she did get upset when I wanted her to just go with Landon, I wanted to sit and read in Barnes and Noble for a bit.

Ups and Down

I am starting this blog as a way of journaling my feelings of dealing with a child who has Bipolar Disorder.
I have been having a rough time lately and I need to let go of things.
