I was kind of hoping that by going back to Blythedale everything would be back to normal, so It’s been kind of a frustrating week. Piper Jane is experiencing some hefty withdrawls. We were warned by her doctors that she would, but I was hoping it would be more minor and less possessed child. I feel so bad for her that she has to go through this.
Just like we were warned, pipsqueak is: irritable, fidgety, clammy, aggressive, restless and anxious. One minute she will be holding still in my arms and the next she is trying to jump off my lap, hitting/kicking me in the face, pulling my shirt (and bra) down to my naval, crying, pulling my hair, climbing up my neck, back-bending over the arm of the rocking chair and pushing me away from her. seriously, like she is possessed. The last few visits have been nothing short of exhausting. I don’t really think she has much control over herself right now, and I know she’s not feeling well, so I really hope this is the worst of it and that she can be herself again soon. Especially because we are both going bonkers at the moment. Also, I am tired of getting beaten up.
*update* you are all way too kind to not point out “withdrawals”..where did tht come from? Hehe
i'm glad that piper is doing better. i'm sorry she doesn't feel well, though. i know how much it sucks to not feel good and not be able to do anything about it. being beaten up by a toddler is no fun, i totally feel you there. my one-year-old nephew popped me one right in the nose one day and i bled for friggin ever. i hope piper feels better soon.
I get that kind of behavior from my lil' Autistic son sometimes too. It's usually when something is wrong with his diet tho. It can be very nerve racking to be the parent taking the brunt , and to be the parent knowing that your child doesn't feel good, and not being able to make it better. Good luck.
That has got to be frustrating for everyone involved. I'm sorry that it isn't the best of visits but I'm sure she'll be back to her old self soon!
After the "withdrawls" HA HA HA!! kidding.
