Update on Belle

Today we took Belle to the neurologist. It was interesting. I'm glad hubby came with me because he asked some really great questions!! The first option the doctor gave us was to medicate. Um... I don't think so!
I wont go into detail about what all what said, but basically we will now see a therapist to start CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and see if that doesn't calm things down. Alot of her tics overlap into being mildly OCD. So, if the CBT isn't working, then he said we will have to use medicine to calm the OCD. But even if it doesn't work, I will research other ways before I put my 6 year old on meds.
