Elijah's doctor, Dr. Vora, retired the end of May so we needed to start seeing his regular doctor for his Tourettes again. We know our plan and basically will continue with the medication like we are currently doing with a chance of weaning him off at the end of the school year like we did last year. *UPDATE: We tried weaning him off and he immediately started with the vocal noises and head twitches. Started him back on his meds-he is still taking Clonadine, and will continue to do so for some time as we know it helps with his condition. Dr. Vora let us know that his Tourettes will get worse during puberty but I'm hoping it won't get to much worse for him as I know it does make him self conscience.
