Hi, my name is Mabel Campos. I was born Mabel Snyders a few more years ago than I care to admit (don't ask) in Centerville.
Most of you already know that I was married to John Campos only a few years ago, when he was a recently divorced father of two. Our children, Erik and Javier, are the center of our lives right now and they are growing up so fast that it is sometimes scary. Erik had a big dance recently and I was totally like "I'm too young to be going through this!" The good thing is that he ended up doing okay, although he was not too excited about the fact that he did not really enjoy the dance that much. He's doing okay right now.
The one that has me worried is Javier. This kid is too much! He's basically teh reason why I am a stay-home mom right now (not that I resent him or amything, let me be clear) because he is, well, I don't want to say "special" because everybody's special and also because the word has been associated with "special needs" or disabilities. Javier is a healthy kid, but he suffers from a rare condition called "Neurological Unrestrained Thought Syndrome" No, don't go looking it up in wikipedia yet, because it is so rare that Javier is only the third child disgnosed with this syndrome so far. If you are really interested in finding out more about this condition, I will have to look up the printouts our neurologist gave us from the Journal of Obscure Medical Facts, but I don't know where I put them.
Anyway, his condition has been flaring recently and his therapist thought that he needed an increase of medication. The therapist cannot prescribe mood-altering drugs, though, so she had to refer him to the neurologist (Javier loves the therapist but totally hates the neurologist) but before we had our appointment, we found out that he was not even taking his pills (See this strip for more information:
http://www.midtoon.com/011406.htm) so now we know that we don't have to give him MORE medicine, just make sure he takes what we give him. I will have to police him, because he refuses to take them (see
http://www.midtoon.com/011502.htm)
Anyway, I hope we get his hallucinations under control, because even though he has not done anything extreme, sometimes I'm afraid he can do dangerous stuff, like the other day (see
http://www.midtoon.com/011404.htm) or get into big trouble (like here:

Well, I apologize for the somewhat longer post, but it is my first and I wanted to explain what is going on right now. I hope I will be able to post something here once in a while, if not more often. If there's anything you wish to know about Midtoon, or a question you want to ask, you can ask me by commenting on this blog. If the question is for Erik, though, you may want to check his own journal in

Mabel.
