Bless his little pointed head!!! LOL He will be 18 on Tuesday and it feels like time has just flown by..... I honestly do remember the day he was born. It so clear like it was just yesterday. I dont know exactly why i'm posting other than to encourage those of you who have children with tourettes. It hasn't been an easy road, but when i look at scott and see the amazing individual he has become it makes me proud. He is a junior in HS this year. He has accomplished so many things that I thought were unobtainable for him.

Our pediatric neurologist dismissed him a couple weeks ago and referred him to an adult neurologist. I do have a question for those of you who have older children with tourettes. This new neurologist is big on botox injections for eye tics. Its NOT going to happen as scott has such a fear of needles, but i was wondering if anybody here has heard of that and if it works... We meet with this new dr in June and i know he is going to suggest it and i want to get as much information about it before we go in to see him. I'm very dubious about this procedure. ANWYAY
i just wanted to pop in and say hello and give a mini update on Scott. His tics and vocalizations are a little elevated right now, but he is preparing to go to contest both in vocal music AND an individual contest in bio technology. He is totally excited about both competitions. Bio Technology,(i think) is going to be what he pursues after he graduates next year with a minor in music. Take care and i hope you guys have a great day!!!
