We started weaning today!

Ok, so, let the summer begin! And the weaning.  As many of you know I refused to start the weaning process until Faith had left the school she was in because I did not trust the nurse.  Well, today was the first day of her weaning.  She has been on 10 mg/day and we took her dose down to 7.5 mg/day.  We are to stay on that for 8 weeks, with bloodwork five weeks into it.  If the bloodwork comes out fine after the 8th week we go down another 2.5!! Wish us luck!

We spent about 4 hours in 100 degree heat today at the pool, I made sure she drank plenty of fluids and she is perfectly fine this evening.... But don't you know this mama is gonna watch her like a hawk!! I am so excited about this whole process and believe with all my heart and soul that this is going to work! If anyone has any words of advice about her weaning, please feel free to share!

Thanks! Joy and Faith
