Hello lovely @Eve7
It has thank you. I need to focus more on these moments rather than the not so nice ones. In fact it has been a good weekend 😊 how about you, what did you get up to?

I am the same... need to focus on those special moments @Anastasia rather than the little foxes trying to spoil my vine.
I’ve been out and about walking, brekky with friends, a movie and today a sporting event.
Just have dinner cooking for the hungry mob returning from the footy.
Hoping we all sleep well tonight!
💙🧡💙

@Anastasia ... that would be so hard MyBoy. I am sorry you (as well as your poor boy) are having to go through all this again. What a great Mum (and carer) you are! When will the Dr/s get the mix right? Its not an exact science unfortunately ... everyone reacts differently to certain meds. And our brains are such complex organs, still very much an unexplored thing. Trial and error .... with lots of both so far by the sounds of it. Maintain hope and faith that they will one day get it right. I know you were not overly happy he was coming home early, so perhaps this extra week is an unexpected blessing all round. But I can totally see what you mean about it being an emotional roller coaster.
Sending you some love and a big big comforting hug.
Emelia 🌸

Last minute changes are hard. 
I do hope that the extra time works out for the best for him, and for you too @Anastasia.

@Anastasia My notifications are a lot strange, sorry I didn’t receive a tag for your post.
Sending you some love this morning, late, but heartfelt. I hope there are some better moments today. 💕💕💕
