Ben

Our afternoon visit with Ben was cut short by a meeting with the psychiatrist working on Ben's case. She invited him to attend so he could spend time with us on the condition that he would sit in a certain chair (one that reminded him of school). Even his desire to be with us couldn't overcome the fear he had of sitting in that chair and 50 minutes went by without him. We could hear him crying in the other room but the psychiatrist was very firm with him....in effort to help him face and overcome his fears.

We were left with a short 10 minute visit with our very unhappy son.

On the bright side, a friend of ours flew Alyson to Honolulu so she could be with us during the week long fall break. We are excited to be reunited with her!!
