Jeff was evaluated again for the PTSD by a third VA Nurse Practitioner today. This lady seems to have the power to call the shots for treatment. We did not understand the reason for this evaluation or I would have gone in with him. He said he found it confusing because she does not know David Ryan with whom Jeff has been meeting the past month (Very odd, as they work in the same office) nor had she read Jeff's file. She did give him another appointment for August 10th when she said she will give her recommendations and said he definitely has PTSD. Small comfort at this point.
I had warned Jeff that he would NOT feel warm fuzzies from this nurse as I got to know her during the Family Ed course I took through VA. I was right. He did not feel warm fuzzies at all. He did seem to find his appointment with David Ryan helpful again today, however. Thank God for David. It is reassuring that Nurse Sue said she will be talking with David before making her recommendations.
I pray for God's good and perfect will in Jeff's journey with VA.
