Funny Doctor's

Last week while celebrating an "awful" birthday year....we saw Josh's phsyc doctor. We met the "team" at the hospital so I did know him a little. Well, he get's this strange idea that we need to change Josh's night time meds even though Josh had to cold turkey his behavior meds because of the reaction. I kept asking him why the night time and he just said, "So that Josh doesn't do inappropriate behaviors"...WHAT? Alright, how many know of teenagers without an attitude or a 4 year old without a temper tantrum? hmmmm? Yah, not a good first meeting for driving 45 minutes and he concluding in 30 with this lame idea. So today I take Josh (got lost, but what's new in Utah) to his regular doctor. Remember, I said the verdict was still out on her...well, she at least listened to my concern about the night time meds and the non existing daytime meds and what effect it has on Josh...so she was going to talk to doctor #1. I didn't hear anything from either of them and go to Target to pick this new medicine up for Josh to take at night. Oh, wait, at first Target didn't have it and had to order it...so I get there and they say that Medicade won't cover it because of Josh's age....hahaha! He's 18, a legal adult? What age does he have to be and the doc. #1 is worried about his "inappropriate behavior" ....Yup, that's Josh for ya!....Boy, this is sure going to take more patience and diet coke then anyone could imagine!....GRRRR!
