  I never know just when this roller coaster is going to jerk me around. Connor raged against me for well over 45 minutes today, biting, kicking, hitting, screaming. Luckily Meghan is programmed well enough by now to know when it starts to go immediately to her room to avoid getting hurt.
When it was all over Connor voluntarily went to his room (which is the request that started the rage) and fell asleep for an hour. Afterwards, he came down and apologized and was very remorseful. I called and spoke with his doctor who decided that a medication change was obviously in need. We completely stopped the depakote since that seemed to be the medication causing Connor so much anxiety and increased the Seroquel both for mood stabilization and sedation.
We'll see how this works. Troy called early this morning... around 3 am. He seemed fairly upbeat but claims to be rather lonely. I suppose that's only to be expected living with hundreds of guys in the middle of the desert! I'm sending out his care package tomorrow with lots of comfort items, hoping he will see how much I care. Anyway, if today was any indication of what tomorrow may bring I should try and get some sleep tonite. I feel the roller coaster speeding up again....
