Progress

I thought I'd be moved by now. Ha ha ha!

The kitchen needs a bit of work. So far we're within budget.

Sunny's Medicaid finally came through, although we've had some hiccups with his medication. We've had his doctor and dentist appointments already, plus a therapist orientation meeting. Our first family therapy is going to start in a few days.

The therapist asked us if we had noticed anything odd, such as a fixation with guns and knives. We couldn't pick out anything that was really abnormal. I mean, he's kind of fixated on flashlights that he pretends are lightsabers, but I don't think that counts. For now, we're signed up for family therapy. The therapist also recommended keeping him on his medication until a few months of school, then tapering down to half strength for a month, then taking him off.

When Sunny met the therapist, he smiled at her and waved, but stayed close to me and hugged my leg tightly. She said that signified healthy body language in terms of attachment.

Today Sunny had his first dry morning in almost a month. Before he moved in with us, it was about a 50/50 chance each night. His anxiety level went up after transitioning, and might finally be dropping down a bit now. I hope the new house move doesn't raise it up again too much.

We're very very very busy. I hope this move is going to be over soon...
