On the Upswing

Wednesday, Jeff had his first meeting with a psychiatrist (nurse practitioner). She was helpful, encouraging, and hesitant to prescribe any drugs, since Jeff seems to be getting better on his own and with counseling. Jeff doesn't really like the idea of taking all this stuff anyway, so it was nice to hear someone from the medical field say that it's good for him to be getting better- she's going to see him again in a few weeks, to check up on us again (and it's sooner than later, so we won't have to wait!).

Jeff is working through his workbook like a fiend! He tries to complete at least one chapter a day, sometimes when we have lots going on, he doesn't get to a chapter, so it evens out nicely.

We had a nice preemptive Padgett birthday get-together (Mom Padgett and Jeff's birthday's are coming up over the next week) Wednesday night, and this morning, Jeff even joined me for the last mile of my run (there was some walking and water fountaining involved, so we were taking it easy). I'm really proud of him for trying so hard.

Otherwise, not too much new happening over here, basically the same old routines. I'm preparing for one last Suzuki class, we're trying to plan out our summer and keep the apartment nice and shiny, while flitting from counseling apt. to doctor's apt. (which will be fewer now) and other things.
