Caroline had her first meeting yesterday with our new psychiatrist, who is actually her "old" psychiatrist from the time of her first diagnosis at age 7. We loved her, and the only reason we left was that her staff at that time was notoriously slow to respond to refill requests and emergency appointments were nigh to impossible to come by. She has revamped her office and now has emergency appointment times weekly and also has new staffers. We haven't had to refill anything by phone yet so we shall see how that goes. But this doc was so happy to see Caroline so stable and so successful right now. I look forward to working with her again and she didn't balk at all at the number of meds Caroline is on. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! She concurred, thankfully.
I leave today with our oldest for the college drop-off. With the hurricane coming right toward us, landfall only an hour south of us, my husband is going to stay behind to get our house ready for the deluge. Hopefully they won't have to evacuate, but that is a possibility. We will be safer in Florida than they will be up here! I stocked the house with hurricane supplies. I wish we could all be together during the onslaught, but it is what it is. Pray for our family for safe travel and safe hunkering down! I hope all of you on the East Coast will be okay!! Refill those meds now!
Good luck on the trip and at your house.
