Wow, I can't believe it's so long since I last updated which is always a good sign.  Olivia's been doing so well for such a long time now.  We've seen an odd absence and a few moments where we think "oh no is it happening again" but nothing has come of it which is fantastic.

We saw Olivia's Paediatrician the other week and he's really pleased with her.  He was wonderful and gave us the option of whether to up her dose (as she's gained weight) or leave it as it is for now as she's doing so well.  We chose to leave it as it is and he said we can always up it quickly just by ringing him so that's good to know.  It'll just be nice if she's weaned down naturally.

The reason I'm on here though is she's been acting unusual for the last few days.  Alex and I have both been saying we're not sure if things are going on or is she just tired or excited so I thought I should put it on here in case we're still thinking this way in a weeks time.

Olivia's getting hysterical about things which she wouldn't normally get upset about like screaming when music is playing (she loves listening to music), not liking noise, saying she wanted pizza for school then crying her eyes out that she doesn't want it.  Laying down and not wanting to be touched.  Writing her name backwards.  Slow speech (searching for the words).

I must ask her to do a drawing to see what that's like.

Hopefully it's nothing.  We'll keep a particularly close eye on her next week while we're off and let her Paediatrician know if we think her dose needs changing.  I don't think there's enough to go on yet.
