ADMIN PASSWORD: Remember Me

Ondine
She's got everything she needs, She's an artist, she don't look back. She's got everything she needs, She's an artist, she don't look back. She can take the dark out of the nighttime And paint the daytime black. --Bob Dylan


The writing fairy and update on Joe, etc

After a long hiatus, I am able to write again, and it's going very well. I just love it when the writing fairy taps my head with her magic wand and says, "Look silly, put this here and change that." And she's right! I've been reading a lot and I think it's helped my craft. I feel a facility with the words I have not possessed before.

I am worried that Joe's depression has rubbed off on me. I've been having a hard time going to karate, moving in general, and I've been hiding on line a lot.

I had a session with Joe's doctor. He told me they feel Joe is not truly bipolar, but has severe depression that has triggered an underlying psychosis. Dr. Miklusak says only time will tell if this psychosis is genetic or if it's psychological. I am praying for the latter, because it means Joe will have a good chance of a complete recovery and no more pills. I am getting him in Special Ed. Dr. Zachary feels I might have to get him an advocate if he is not ready to return to LCH. She wants me to get him into a school for gifted children that has a strong therapeutic interaction. I will go see Mrs. Roberts, the school therapist next week, give her Joe's test results, and talk to her about special schooling. Dr. Zachary feels the Foothills school may be too easy for Joe.

He is better, no more scary mood drops, but he's still so unfocused, sad, and frustrated. I feel guilty it's him sick and not me. I want my boy back.

We've found a new house to lease: http://glendale.rapmls.com/listingpics/bigphoto/021/22054421.jpg?ts=050625090733

It's across the street from Descanso Gardens, and accesible to everywhere. The kids are so happy about it. I am too. I can't wait to get out of this falling down house on top of a mountain. We'll be moving in July.
