Our First Appt.

Well today was our first session with the psychologist and i think it went pretty well. We got there on time with no major fights and talked with the Dr. for about an hour and a half. She has put him on a small dose of Zoloft because she thinks there might be a little bit of depression in all this, as well as a little bit of normal teenage behavior, and referred a therapist for us to talk to in her office. We will start meeting with him on Friday. On top of that she has asked Dj to start writing in a journal about how he feels everyday. She then wants to see us again in about four weeks to see where we are and if anything needs to be adjusted. She also warned us that in a small amount of children his age that the Zoloft can cause suicidal thoughts and that if he feels this way or we see any major changes in him to stop and call her. Overall I would say it was a really good session. Dr. Edda seems to be a really good psychologist and Dj responded to her very well. She was very honest and upfront with us about everything and made sure that we knew what we were going into before we left her office. I am very excited to see how this all helps. Im not saying at all that things are going to change overnight and this all be some miracle cure but Im at least hoping that this is going to be the start of a new family lifestyle for us. We shall see how it all goes. I will keep posting as things progress.

After our session was over we headed out to get something to eat and then headed home. All in all we had a great day without any blowups until after Elyssa got home. I have a feeling she may be joining us in therapy. We are now headed to the Y for youth Zumba and then swimming for the kids.

Well that's all for now. Blog at you later.
