I spent some time with Hope this afternoon and it was better than usual. She's become less talkative in our more recent visits, but today she was back to her usual self, wanting to discuss things that were bothering her. I know that's so good for her even though I'm not always sure how to respond. Oh, and I asked her therapist yesterday what the "butt juice" is that Hope had told me about. She said it's just a monthly injection that helps to level her moods and that it seems to be really helping. I agree!
