Well we saw R's new doctor today. We waited over an hour to see him, and my scepticism grew. I was proved very wrong! Dr T sat down asked R questions, listened to him answer and really talked with him before making any choices. When he was done with questions he sat back told R he hadn't been on a high enough dose to make a difference in his symptoms. Hints the reason he has been spiraling down hill the last month or more!
R is on a new set of meds, Dr T said he will have a good quality of life, there is a light at the end of this tunnel. He thinks R is a very strong man for being able to take all his dealt with bipolar wise and didn't try anything before march. I and R both feel better already, just a better outlook.
We know he'll still have episodes and we're not forgetting that but we know things can be better and we feel it's finally in sight.
On another note, a very sweet friend from work brought me a book that helped her when her family member went through her tough time. My friend said it really helped her understand the illness better. So I warn you I will be writing about what I learn. I have already learned some in the first few chapters. So get ready!
