“I have a great life.  I don’t have lice.”

- My youngest, age 6.

The whole lice situation is a little sketchy.  We haven’t found any DEFINITIVE nits, and not a louse to be found.  We found ONE thing on my daughter’s head that may or may not be a nit, so we are acting accordingly.

Moving on to the ADHD meds…  Here’s how I rate Focalin compared to Adderall.  Focalin has:

  • 50% of the concentration boost
  • 15% of the irritability (or less)
  • 0% of the obsessive compulsive impact
  • 60% of the duration

This, I think, could be a really good thing.  We’ll see how it goes over time.

Love to all. Even you, Monsignor.

    Better to be safe than sorry - you rock by taking the right steps. Seems like the med adjustment may be a good thing - I’m very happy for you. Hope the Championable “gang” has a very Merry Christmas and that 2008 is the very best for you.

    Excellent.

    And your six year old has it right. Life is definitely great when you don’t have lice.

    Merry Christmas!

    Out of the mouths of babes, right?

    I’m following this med thing closely. I need something and I guess I’m treating your situation like a test. Thanks for the update.
