Welcome back ! I have missed your cogent comments. I trust all is well.

I really appreciate your thoughts on " Re: An Update on Terry's Dx " - copied

below. The concept of " mental freezing " does seem to fit some of what I

see. And, it seems to be worse if there is an emotional sensory overload

for Terry. For example, if I raise my voice in frustration over her lack of

a response to a query from me - which may be due to the freezing, then she

really locks up emotionally. while I don't have a lot of experience yet

with the new doc's insights, I believe they are going to be very helpful

from him as he is both incisive and simple in his portrayals.

We had a good indicator yesterday of his communication skills when we

visited Terry's GP. She commented that she had received a very well written

report from Terry's new nuero on Terry's condition and really appreciated

the insight. Keep in mind the GP has had no prior contact with the new nuero.

Thanks again for your support. I appreciate it coming from you. Indeed,

this situation can be overwhelming at times.

PS I do understand the many feelings that goes when the young ones go off

to college.

Well, I've been missing in action for quite some time. This has been a

very, very LONG month. I may survive!

Actually it's been VERY busy due to work and family life (first child went

to college). So, my apologies if I did not answer. I doubt I could

contribute much more than what everyone else could contribute. But I have

been thinking of everyone.

Greetings ,

My sincere condonlences for your current state. It must be overwhelming for

both of you.

Only when I reached extreme fatigue and overload (from external stimuli),

did I encounter a small experience with the mental freezing. And it was

extremely frustrating an unpleasant. I knew I wanted to formulate a

thought, but was simply unable to pull together all the pieces. For me a

nap seems to help. That both Terry, and you, , face this together must

be somewhat overwhelming. As a result, I extend my prayers for Grace and

Peace to both of you.
