We just got "the call" we have been waiting for; Sarah begins the consolidation phase of her journey on Wednesday May 2, 2012! Anxious, nervous, scared, excited, relieved.... I am on an emotional roller coaster; these have been the longest 4 months of my life. The next month will be a difficult one, my baby has been through so much already; and as the psychiatrist agreed she has had to face an illness that no 19 year old should have to face. The fact that she has "regressed" emotionally is a defense mechanism, the only way she has been able to deal with the enormity of her illness has been through "acting-out" her fear and frustration. Acknowledging this will hopefully be the first step for all of us in helping her to deal with what comes next. Keep those prayers and good wishes coming, we need all the help we can get! Now I have to finish cleaning, Grandma and Grandpa arrive tomorrow.
XO maria
