did it!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone;

Last week decided she wanted to try to sleep over at her best

friends house, I thought it was a wonderful idea and figured I would

probably get a phone call around 10:00 to come and get her. I talked to

her friends mother and told her that if starts showing any kind of

sadness or wnting to come home then she needs to get her mind onto

something else.

Ellin 's doc, told me to try to make this the most positive thing

for her, it will really help to build her self esteem if she can do it.

So I made sure before she left that she knew I felt she could do it, and

how happy I was that she felt ready.

Well to make a long story short she had a wonderful time and she made it

through the night without even calling me, they didn't bring her home

until 7:00 the next night. I am so proud of her and she is very proud

and happy to. Now she knows she can do it!!!

When she came home we talked about it and she said she never once had

the feeling or thought about wanting to come home. WOW!!!!
