Looks good so far…
Gillian was concerned for her big brother so before she went to bed, she wanted to light a candle for him. We all thought good calm thoughts directed at him, and lit the candle.
Did it work? Did all the things he talked about with his therapist work? Did he just say 'fuck the fear' and succeed because he wanted to?
Dunno, but the phone didn't ring. I woke up at 12:30, 1:45, 3:15, and 4:45 this morning, jumping out of sleep thinking I heard something. Checked to make sure there weren't any messages. There was, but it was old. *PHEW*
As far as I can tell, he's home free. If he can get through it last night, tonight will be a piece of cake. He was looking forward to making the morning announcements and again at dinner. All in all, I'm sure that this is going to be a liberating experience for him. Me and Fae? yeah, we're a wreck after last night. Now that he's made it through the first night, I'm not worried. Can't wait to see him tomorrow.
Thanks for all the well wishes and support.

That is awesome.
He’s such a great kid. It must be hard for him sometimes being so sensitive. I’m glad this seems to be working out for him. That will be a great boost to his confidence.

Yea!!! Thought of you all last night before bed (it was actually early for me- 1:15am) and was hoping you were ALL sleeping!

I’m late to the game, but I’m happy that he made it through the first night!!!!!! Our school has a similar program in 6th grade (“outdoor ed”) and my middle child was just not able to handle three nights away. Fortunately, the place is only 40 mins. away, so I drove her there and back the first two days so she could participate, and then I spent the last night as a chaperone so she could do the bonfire, etc. I feel your pain, Matt!

Now I just want to find out how much fun he’s having
the program he’s in right now sounds exactly the same, I just glad he figured out how to do it.
Crossing my fingers for tonight, but i figure if he can get thru last night, he’ll be fine tonight.
