    She made it!!!!!!!!!

    GFG1 is no longer on the chip program. 4 weeks of 1 negative chip or less and she succeeded. I can not tell you how exciting this is.

    We has our session last Sunday and we even discussed gfg2 and his problems (she had overheard some things while she was home and instead of her guessing we wanted her to have the facts). We said she had the right to know why she wouldn't be making contact with him any time soon. She kept it together even when we told her about biomom.

    She was told tonight that her advocate is also going to part time so she got a new advocate. She was crying about that but she was holding it together.

    She was telling me she gets to go to the basketball games on Friday and Tuesday nights. She also wanted to know how much money to request for the Winter Formal dress and shoes. I can not believe how far we have come with her.

    She is practicing with the JROTC group at school and gets herself up every morning so she can be on time (she has to be there at 6:10). Plus just the fact that she is in a group like JROTC where she is told what to do and does it is a miracle. I know some of our gfgs thrive with the structure and I think she may be one. She doesn't qualify for military at this point but I would be tempted to encourage her to do so if she lost some more weight. But I am putting the cart before the horse.

    I am so excited for her that she is finally getting where she needs to be. I know we are not finished but this is such a boost for her. She made it through the holidays and starting school at the public school full days instead of the half days there and half at the rtc school. So she heald it together through all of those changes.

    I think I might actually see the light at the end of this tunnel.

    Now I just have to think on what we are going to surprise her with ( I said we would if she made it). Just not sure what to go with.
