Memorable Quotes:

“With healthcare, medication is the quick bandaid…That medication isn’t going to fix it. It’s just going to be a temporary bandaid and then when something else comes along, you’ll get something else.”

“Our pantry is stocked with things that they eat, so when they come, it’s there…It’s become part of our routine to have it available for them here.”

“He used to have these outbursts that would literally bring me to tears, because I knew that wasn’t him. It was heartbreaking to see that.”

“He now knows what’s good for him and what isn’t.”

“He’s definitely a totally different child.”

“We as grandparents don’t have those children every day. Some of us might. But be as supportive and encouraging as you can of your family. It does work. It is going to make a difference.”

“It’s not a bandaid. This is a fix.”

“Don’t give up. Stick with it. Support your family. Do your part when they’re visiting with you.”

“Sit and explain to your grandparents what you’re dealing with and what you’re going through and then how you’re going to help them help you support the process.”
