With Avi it is often two steps forward and one step back. Yesterday I wrote about our visit with Avi. It was really a great visit and we left very hopeful about the next few days. His new meds seemed to be working and all was seemingly well with the world.
Like I said, I should have known better. When Avi has gone into new programs or a new facility the first few days are often good days while he learns the lay of the land. It is usually the third or fourth day when things erupt. When I spoke with Avi this morning he seemed in good spirits and said he had a good night, despite the thunder (of which he is very scared).
Avi called home at about 6:30 and told me that he did not have a good day. He got mad and threw things he reported. As he was telling me he was getting upset and then it was difficult to understand him. This can then spiral into a difficult situation in itself. I just told him that we won’t talk about that anymore, and he calmed down. Clearly he had some difficulties today and hopefully at the meeting tomorrow we will get a sense of what happened.
I am still hopeful that Avi will be coming home to us before Passover and God willing before Shabbat.
Only time will tell.
