March 31st - April 5th

We started Jymani on the Clonidine patch this week.  His Behavioral Pediatrician thought it might help with Jymani's behaviors during the day.  We noticed NO signs of this helping whatsoever and decided to discontinue its use.  The patch caused Jymani to have quite a rash on his skin where it was placed and it irritated him to no end when he had it on.  We tried no Clonidine at all after removing the patch, but Jymani was not falling to asleep before midnight while off it entirely.  So we have since reintroduced the pill and we are currently just giving him a half a tab.  So far so good, he is falling asleep by nine and sleeping all night!!
