February 9, 2015 Day 9

The start of a new week, exciting but it also means more graduations!! The next 3, friends will be graduating and starting their new lives as pain free teens. I don't know who is more upset- Payton or me! We have met so many wonderful people here!

I believe that this is a large part of the program- connecting families who understand what each other has been through. All of us end up here for different reasons- an infection, an injury, a long list of surgeries!!! But they all trigger something in the brain to cause central sensitization. And yes, the goal is to leave here with enough tools to fill a "bad day box" but also with the phone numbers of others who can help us through our bad days!! No more running to the doctor to endure more tests and finger pokes! We will go through our tools and rely on our PRC family to keep us laughing and smiling!!
