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.

Only an Ear Ache!

We had to go to the doctor again today for another follow-up on Devin. Lungs sound much better, he said, but they had to do a swine flu test on her. That was lovely, sticking the swab up her nose. Anyone that knows her can imagine what that was like. Anyway, this weekend, she had been running a fever and coughing quite a bit. So negative to swine flu, but positive on ear ache, which is good, because maybe an antibiotic will help clear all this up. Even though her oxygen level was still a tad low, the doctor said we could take her off oxygen since her lungs sound so much better. Besides, we were all getting sleep deprived trying to keep the nasal cannula on her all night. Yay, something is going right!
