Re: Hi Everyone - Terry

I know what you mean, Terry, about their face looking different. Josh used to

get this " look " where I just knew what was going on inside his head when the OCD

was winning. And when he was better, he also got his twinkle back. It's such a

great feeling of relief to get your child back. I'm so glad to hear she is

doing well.

We've got some agonizing decisions to make this next year, concerning Josh

leaving home. The teacher of the computer programming class he takes, wants him

to try for a $60,000 scholarship. He says Josh has an excellent chance of

winning it (his friend won last year). Since he is a senior, he can try for it

this year. But, I'm unsure if he is ready to leave home. I would rather he

went to the local community college for a couple of years first. Yet, he would

have to use the scholarship right away, if he wins it, so would have to move

out. I worry about him relapsing. He's done so well the last couple of years,

I hate to see something upset everything. It's never easy with an OCD kid.

I think we are going to have him go ahead and try for it, then see what the

future brings. Me, I'm so used to worrying and taking care of him, that it's

hard to turn it off. <smirk>
