Great Doctor visit....

Yesterday Faith and Renae visited her new doctor, it was a great visit. We kept her medicine at its current dose and as long as things go good over the next couple weeks we will not go back for three weeks. Faith has been doing great. She can still snap, but yet we are not having to go on drives in the evenings, we are not having meltdowns at night. As a matter of fact last night we were laying upstairs watching The Middle and she was laughing so hard and so loud, something I have missed hearing in a long time. I came home last night from work and she had a whole bunch of recipes organized on the coffee table. This is her new passion, she has always enjoyed cooking, but she is really passionate. This Saturday she has planned a huge dinner with a dessert. She went through her closet yesterday and donated all her clothes that no longer fit. This may seem like not a big deal, but to her it is HUGE. The day before yesterday she watched a movie marathon on television, twelve hours, again not a big deal to some people, but huge for her. Probably the most noticeable thing to me is her impulsive actions, she still does them, but she is able to stop a lot of times and retract her behavior before it is complete. I am most proud of her being able to express her feelings. She has always been remorseful of her behavior, however she has matured enough to say "what you are doing is really making me mad, please stop". I just have to figure out a way to get her to walk away and leave the room. (ha,ha) But I am just so thankful that she is not crying half the day and screaming about how miserable she is. I know it has only been a couple of weeks, but it is these little steps that turn into long walks, that eventually lead to cresting the top of a mountain and enjoying the beautiful view below. Kris
