Praise and Thanks to God!!

I've been praying for Pajama Monster. I'm a Mommy and a Christian, so of course I've been praying for him. I prayed for his conception and pregnancy and birth, and now I pray every day for him to just be able to have a good life. Lately that's been centering around his medications and health. I believe that God answers every prayer, but sometimes the answer is "no." Today, however, the answer about the leukocyte counts was "yes." Apparently, according to our psychiatrist, in some cases the body can adjust to the Depakote and stabilize the white blood cells. From his latest, completely normal WBC of 8.2, that appears to be what happened. His depakote level is 75, smack in the middle of the range, so we're increasing the dose slightly to see if we can get him nearer the best end of the therapeutic range. It's possible that a month from now my little Pajama Monster could be functioning like any other very gifted little snuggle bug. He might be able to function in preschool without behavioral specialists and go to playdates without needing to leave because of his behavior. Even if we never make it all the way there, this is manageable. Praise be to God for all his help! Without Him we would be truly lost!
