Anxiety Assessment

We got a call from the mental health unit Wednesday. The psychologist (who only comes once a month) was there that day and someone had cancelled their assessment that was scheduled for that afternoon. Would we like to take the spot and do Ethan's anxiety assessment? Uh, let me think about it, YES!

I wasn't in there while they did it but it lasted almost an hour. The psychologist told me that Ethan did very well and that he was adorable :) She said she's had a lot of assessments lately and is behind on doing the reports for them. She'll be back in 2 weeks, then 4 weeks after that. She said there's no way she'll have the results ready in 2 weeks, but unless something major happens she'll have them in 6. So by mid-May we should have them.

In the meantime, we have at least 2-3 weeks' worth of regular assessments left. And there are things his social worker can be starting with him and us while we're waiting on the anxiety assessment results.

I saw the program director while I was there Thursday. She said it's only taken us a little over a month to get as far as it takes most people at least 3-4 months to get. We've been able to take advantage of 2 cancellations opening a spot for us to see the people we needed to. I totally see God's hand in all of this! And Wednesday we were having car trouble that was resolved a few minutes after they called me about filling in for that appointment... Wow...
