Great Chat
Just talked to Caroline tonight and she sounded WONDERFUL! She sounded so normal, just chipper and positive, and lots of good reports about school and her behavior. I wanted to cry. She said she is sleeping well now, and is reading her Bible a lot, remembering verses throughout the day, and stayed out of the drama during group therapy. She said she remembered to use some of the skills that her psychologist taught her about when she is in a stressful situation, to first observe what is going on around her and try to stay neutral, rather than just reacting. That is a first. She started the amantidine yesterday so maybe this is helping her to not just freak out but to think. Sure hope so. Can't wait to see her in two weeks!
