Nadia’s doctor emailed me back yesterday and agreed that something for anxiety might help Nadia while we try to figure out her PANS treatment. The pharmacy had to order in the liquid version of Zoloft, so hopefully they will have that today for us to start. I know that won’t be a quick fix either. My fear though, is it will mask a lot of these PANS symptoms and we’ll never actually get to the root cause…
When Eric got home from work yesterday he started talking to Nadia about how if she wears underwear and goes to school we will all go to Target and get a toy. Yes, we are not above bribery at this point. But sadly, as much as Nadia loves Target and toys, even that didn’t work. She got all dressed today, but perhaps 30 seconds later, took off her underwear… I question her a lot, she says she doesn’t want to wear underwear because she thinks wearing them will make her pee. Although this has never happened. And she says she doesn’t want to go to school because mom isn’t there. I’m running out of ideas on this, and trying to focus on the positive… I am able to stay home with her. She is in preschool which isn’t required. And maybe staying home will prevent her from getting COVID? As rates here are really, really high.
So yes, she is home with me again. And again I feel like I will get nothing done around the house, as she is constantly asking for my help, for me to go to the basement to get a certain toy with her, to play with her, to braid her dolls hair, etc.
I better start some laundry quick before she notices I left her playing in the basement!

Fingers crossed. You ALL need the relief that I hope you see in the next week. Huge support to you!
Praying your husband avoids exposure and infection, that would be a topper your family does not need.
WIth a child at home you simply make slower progress, but progress will happen. Give yourself a lot more slack on what can be achieved with your side kick in tow.

Indeed, with my girls home and teaching the oldest kindergarten, I have a very hard time getting anything done. However, we don’t have to get ready and drop off/pick up from school, so that helps.
I’ve discontinued my bi-weekly cleaning lady during covid, so the house is not up to my standards. Since we don’t go anywhere on the weekends I try to play catch up (I never actually catch up but it helps).
So I get your frustration. I will tell my girls to bugger off when I need to get something done and they’re being demanding! I hope the new medicine helps.
May you guys stay healthy and enjoy the holidays! XOXO
