The weekend....

Ok so the computer is still not fixed...just a minor issue that I will figure out. Last week Faith made it over a huge hurdle. Instead of staying locked up inside the car not wanting to go to school, she went in. I may have rolled down the windows and went to sleep and told her we would stay in the parking lot until school was out, and I would take vacation days until she finally went in, but she saw that I was serious after two hours. She also had three different teachers come out and talk to her. The amazing thing is after school that day she realized that she can overcome those terrible feelings and go on and have a good day. We then spent the weekend at a marriage retreat, she finally overcame her fear of getting her ears pierced!!!! AMAZING...climb one hill and see the need to climb another!! Yesterday she started not feeling good, she is going through a cycle, extreme highs and now the lows. She basically does not feeling like doing anything, it is a struggle to even get up. She tried going to school and almost stayed the entire day, it is just tough to not lay down and do nothing. I know this feeling quite well. It is so hard to get up when feeling this way. I could just sleep for days, as I think she wants to, however it fuels her stress and anxiety because she is doing so well with school and does not want to fall behind. It is tougher this year becuase she did not go last year, and she is just now getting back into the routine. So our cycle continues, but she and Cass are troopers, he never leaves her side and his presence helps her accomplish almost anything, if not for herself then for him!! Kris
