She is failing or has a D in almost every core subject. Obviously this is not good. We need to get this ship turned around soon or we need to look at other options for her schooling. She is still having the scrolling vision and headaches, which I am strongly suspecting in due to too high level of Lithium in her blood after researching chronic toxicity symptoms of Lithium. She sees the psychiatrist on Wednesday and we will ask for blood work and a slow titration down on this med. Her thyroid biopsy was postponed as the radiologist felt it wasn't necessary. Still waiting on the results of the brain MRI.
The IEP meeting is next week. Thankfully my husband is here and can be part of the discussion. I am feeling quite discouraged by this first quarter, between her very real physical issues and the confusion over her schedule in the beginning and now the resulting poor grades. Definitely doubting our decision to throw her into a big school. As great as this IEP team is, she may need a smaller environment and more intensive help than a big public high school can give.

as someone who has been taking lithium for 30+ years, i do encourage frequent lithium levels. your daughter will become the best judge of what level works for her -- for me, .6 to .8 m/eq is optimal, 1.0 too high.
still, take good care to enjoy such healthy times as may come your way. sometimes people bog down too much in the psychiatric mumbo-jumbo and lose sight of what life is all about, that is, living.
