Thursday..2nd visit to new Dr.......

Yesterday went great. Faith had her second appointment with her new psychologist. I was unable to go since I was in a class the Army has me in. Renae said it went great. He shared some suggestions, said he wanted to wait until we got her stable to implement some tests he wants to conduct. One reassuring thing he told renae is that the evening meltdowns are most likely her slowing down from a day of overwhelming stimulation. He said we are handling them well...Renae has been taking her for drives to calm her down and help her medicine set in to assist in sleeping. We have her off of all the medicines she was on prior. There is a huge difference, which I think is so much better. Before I guess she was medicated and this wild, loud, but mostly happy side of her wasn't there. But she definitely cannot stay still. Next week we have an appointment at a school the doctor recommended. I can't lie, Renae explained it to me but I will have to come back with some more information before telling you about it. Of course we will keep you posted. Our girl is really enjoying the holidays. Her grandparents are here visiting, and she is baking and cooking all day with her grandma. She loves the holidays more than any other time of the year. It is fun to see her so happy. She just hates the evenings, they are so tough. Kris
