#782 Friday 21 December

The world is supposed to end today. Outside (at 6:30am) the birds are singing and the sun is shining ..... I think the prediction is wrong.

We've taken Kaylia off Risperdal during the school break .... this is the one that controls her stimmy behaviour and allows her to concentrate. It also makes her hungry. Without it we can see a different girl. She is much harder to engage .... much more stimmy .... and no where near as hungry. The big question is whether we can stand it! I think it makes her behave in ways that demand constant 'eye-ball' supervision .... much more than we've grown accustomed to.
We'll see. We have 42 days to observe and assess the effects.

The search for "Number 13" .... the new AJ .... has begun. AJ leaves on Feb 8 so we need to locate the right person. It's a bit more complex this time as the new person has to fit in with three adults .... Zoe as well. Not just Naomi and I. It's going to be an interesting selection process!
