Gabi's ticks are back. They aren't the same as last time. Now they affect her whole body, and they differ from day to day. Sometimes they look intentional and other times they appear to be involuntary. Her teacher has mentioned them at school several times as well. I had a theory that maybe it was due to lack of sleep. Her melatonin had run out and I was in no hurry to buy more. After a few weeks, we found her up in the middle of the night on the computer, watching TV or playing in her room. The ticks followed soon after. Since that time, she has been getting her melatonin every night and sleeping much better. The ticks still continue though. So next month, I'll be talking to her pediatrician about it during her check up.

Sorry about the ticks. Talk to me about the melatonin. What made you decide to do it. What are the pros and cons?
Hope you get ti all figured out.
Love the Build a bear pictures. She is getting tall.
You know - now that you say that, Shawen's tics haven't been as prominent and he's been taking melatonin. You think it's related to lack of sleep? He used to get up in the middle of the night too. We still have had a couple of those incidents, but they've been much less frequent since we started the melatonin. Prayers -
