Taylor has now completed 35 sessions of PrTMS and its time for an overdue update. We have seen improvements in her sleep (falls asleep faster, wakes up fewer times during the night), improved behaviors at school (fewer elopements, less frequent suicidal ideation), and an overall improvement with her impulse control and behavior at home.

We first started tracking Taylor’s suicidal ideations and elopements from home in the middle of December (I wish we would have started tracking this sooner!) and overall we have seen a decline in both of these since then. See chart below:

Each column shows a full week of data and before this past week, we had seen a decline in both elopements and suicidal ideation most weeks.

We are hoping that as we continue with PrTMS, we see more consistency with the good days she is having. Each day continues to be unpredicable, although we usually know by 5-6am what kind of day it will be.
