This morning we met with Tessa's doctor. We are going to start, slowly, with some OCD medicine at the end of this week. The doctor acknowledged that the meds she was prescribed can make a person drowsy (the histamine effect, I think he said) but that after a short time, that goes away.
At any rate, we're going to take baby steps and see if we can minimize some of the OCD behavior she experiences.

One of our customers at work has a son who's autistic. I talked to him today for the first time in a long time. I told him we'd placed Tessa. He had a lot of questions and we had a lot to talk about. A lot of the thoughts that he and his wife had are the same as Julie and I had, which I guess is predictable. I told him I'd send him the link to my 'blog. I hope Lenny and his wife find some value in reading what I wrote about placing Tessa.

Hot, hot, hot today. I think the high was 95 or so. They called it dangerously hot. Since I'm an idiot, I took that as a personal challenge (in my defense, I don't think the humidity was as bad as it usually is at 95 degrees around here, so there!). I went for a nice bike ride after work, about 22 miles. I actually felt pretty good, "artsy" pictures below.
Catch you later!
