What a Crock

My phone rang over the noon hour.
"Hi Dad, this is Sarah!"

Her voice alone was good news! The tone of her voice provided hope and assurance, at a minimum, that nothing was wrong. Don't we all sniff out "good or bad news" in the first 2 seconds of a call?

As mentioned earlier, she has be moved up a level; has limited phone privileges; is living apart from those in the intensive program; can have longer visitation and a limited 2 hour pass; has a new sponsor; is proud of her progress; and she is preparing for another "let's talk about the hard things" discussion this weekend.

Phew!

What next? We'll know on Saturday. Our barometer of progress is rising (slowly we hope). We're more the "crock pot" types rather than the "microwave" types when it comes to finding hope of sustained progress.

Notwithstanding the prior disclaimer we're excited as can be.
