Not that you'll have time or anything, but you and or she might want to grab a copy of the book I'm reading now, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, 3rd ed. Yes, it sounds hokey, but it's a relatively easy read for the material (endocrinology), and the writing style is how I imagine Lou Schuler would tackle the material. I might suggest keeping notes along the way to keep what does what straight, but it's not a difficult read by any means.
That being said, continue texting as needed.

Thanks for the report, and I'm glad things are looking better and Monica will be home soon! Will certainly continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Terry, about a year ago my husband had a "nervous breakdown" or brief reactive psychosis. I deal with physical things very well, but psychological is a whole other ball of wax. As you know the key is finding the right mental health professionals and keeping communication open and frequent with them. My Matt is now doing well nearly a year later ... and I know Monica has been better before and will be again.
Good news that she is responding so rapidly ... she, and you, and your family are in my prayers.
Hugs,
Julie

Terry, just got back, sorry to hear about what has been happening. Don't worry EVER about talking about this type of thing. This board is about support, all things mental and physical. We're here for you bro!!!!!
Terry, so sorry I missed this earlier. I'm so pleased that things are looking up for Monica and that she's getting helpful treatment. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Monica and the kids. And, like Doug said, do not ever worry about making these sorts of posts here. We're your friends, we care about you, want to hear about this and want to give you support. Be sure to let us know how things go from here. Take care, buddy!

Hey bud! Giving you a little bump/nudge here. Hope things with the family are okay and you're able to get back on track!
