Giselly is doing wonderfully after her ordeal in June. She only had to go to counseling a few times and they said she was doing so well, we could stop bringing her. Occasionally she still asks about Kevin or says things like "it's o.k. ot touch my own privates, right mommy". Or she asks me why Javy likes Jacob better than her. After what happened with Kevin, Javy was terrified to be around Selly. He was kinda mean to her and that just plain pissed me off. There wasn't much I could do though.
Lopez went to CA for 35 days for NTC, which is the training they go through before deployment. I had a very hard time for the first 4 weeks. I was severely depressed. I tried very hard to get the kids out of the house once or twice a week, but I generally wanted to stay home and not see anyone. I did make really good friends with my neighbor and we would sit outside when it cooled down in the evenings and let Selly and her son play. That helped me tremendously.
Lopez came home a few days ago and I have never been more happy to see him! NTC was so hard, I can't imagine how hard the actual deployment will be. For now we are enjoying out time with him home, because it is very short.
