Thought of the Week

  • "Having OCD is like being allergic to life - every waking moment is spent in a state of mental hyper-sensitivity.”

Why am I returning to this blog after so long?

During this next year, this blog will "document" Devin's OCD, and the improvements she makes. In no way is this blog meant to make anyone feel sorry for our trials. We know that trials are merely blessings in wolves' clothing. Because any improvements will be minor and subtle as the days go by, I want to write it all down so that I can look back and see how far Devin has come. If you are a first-time reader, I suggest you begin by reading this post. It will give you some background and show you a starting point. Comments are welcome, but please be kind. This is not an easy illness to deal with. We're all just doing the best we can.

Day 20

Darin is doing quite well. His appetite seems to be coming back. He had a doctor appointment Friday, and got in trouble because he wasn't eating enough. He had lost 14 pounds in just 3 weeks. Tonight he asked for 3rds. Almost back to normal.

Jadyn and Devin are getting excited for Christmas. Now that Jadyn knows all about the days of the week and calendars, she's been counting down the days 'til Christmas. She loves the snow. She thinks if it's snowing, it's Christmas. I went outside with her and tried to make a snowman, but the snow wouldn't stick together. So we decided to have a snowball fight instead. Jadyn also made some snow angels.

Potty training with Devin is still slow-going. The other day, she told me "I'm never doing that again!" She's also been as bouncy as Tigger these days. She did have a rough day today. She threw up about three times. Grandma said she would eat and then throw up, eat and then throw up, eat and then throw up.
