PTSD

When Daughter called this morning, she sounded terrible.  I asked what was wrong, and she said she didn't sleep well last night.  She thought she saw someone shining a flash light in her bedroom window, and she was terrified.  She didn't tell staff or ask for her sleeping pill.  She was ready to go to bed right after supper tonight.  I know she'll sleep well tonight, because she feels safe her. 

She said that the staff didn't check on her last night.  They are supposed to be checking her every 2 hours at night and logging whether she's sleeping last night.  I will be so glad when she moves.  Her bedroom in the new house is not on ground level, so that will help her feel safer.  Her room is also right next to a staff member's room, which should help as well. 

She said there was an altercation at her program today, which was her second trigger of the day.  I didn't make her go to choir tonight.  She is really tired.
