Gabriela is OFF medication !!!

We have just fabulous news. Gabriela is off her regular daily medication with the blessing of her psychiatrist ! Since starting puberty, she has really changed and made progress. Her moods are much more stable, the mood changes related to the Bipolar have evened out and she is calmer overall as well. Only time will tell if she will be lucky enough to outgrow this. We are hoping that it was immature hormones causing the physical problems. Gabriela is still a very strong and determined child, but is much better on a daily basis. We have medication to help her as needed but the frequency of how often she needs that medication has decreased dramatically. We still follow with the psychiatrist as needed. She is really getting quite tall as well. I would not be surprised at all if Gabriela got close to or broke 6 feet. At 11 years old, she is already almost as tall as me by mere inches and wears a size 8 women's shoe. I am 5'2".

Praise God in his infinite mercy.
