Sweet update

Yesterday was Savannah's check up w/ Dr. S (her psychiatrist).  He checks on her every few months for her anxiety.  He saw her in March (right after A&K moved in) and up'd her medicine a little bit to help her deal w/ the changes going on at home.  He saw her in September & decided that she was doing pretty well, so he dropped her dose back down.  This was her first time back since then.  Since we're approaching the 1 year mark, he asked her for an update on what home is like now.  Her reply was fun to listen to.  She said:

"Well....Kourtney's sweet.  She's starting to act normal (ha ha...not sure what that means!) & she feels like a sister.  We have fun playing together.  Andrew & I still fight like cats & dogs sometimes, but that's how brothers & sisters are, ya know?  He's starting to feel like a brother, so I guess we'll fight, huh?"

The doc & I had a good time giggling at her responses.  The doc is very even-tempered and calm & cool all the time, so making him laugh is a pretty big deal.  I can't remember what else she said that was funny, but she had him cracking up & really enjoying her answers.

We're so pleased to see her finally getting to a point where things are levelling out for her--- no major highs & lows anxiety-wise.  It's great!  He was very proud of her progress and said we'd try to lower her med dosage again this summer & see how it goes.  The last time we tried was Sept 05 & it did not work at alllllllll.  We'll see if it does next time!
