Transitions

Carrie's individual therapy has come to an end for now.  We are very focused on vision therapy and tutoring this summer.  Both of those things have given us quite a busy schedule.  I’d say that the vision therapy will last until at least the end of her Fall semester.  I’m happy to say that Carrie's behavior was absolutely awesome during our vacation.  It was the first vacation in our 7 years as a family that she didn’t have a high level of anxiety and/or throw a fit.  I have praised her many times for her good behavior.  Keefer and I have also recently discussed the need to dust off our PCIT skills, which we have been using off and on. I believe that has helped with her behavior lately.  Dr. R also gave Carrie a prescription for Benadryl to use when she feels anxious.  We have been sparing it our use of that, however.  I’d say that we use it less than once per week.  All in all, things are going smoothly.
