Assigned family: Ava. This is Aliana Krass (AK) writing a report for today's meeting with Mariana Ava (MA) and her twin children, Lexi Ava (LA) and Nika Ava (NA). Meeting began on-time at ten in the morning, after driving half-an-hour with some lighter supplies and documents. MA quickly presented at the door, seemingly content and ecstatic, and spoke with enthusiasm since we last met a week ago. I was quickly invited in to the house and greeted LA and NA, both of whom were cheerful and loving to their mother (such as clinging to MA's leg). I perceived MA's mood to be mainly positive and hopeful, with hints of absentmindedness. They moved in to this house a month ago, but there are still unpacked boxes around the house, although, the general condition of this home is still fresh. MA showed remorse for the messy hallway but offered me pre-baked cookies made by the twins. They tasted pleasant, and all of them received my compliment well. I was then shown around the home and updated on how things were going. MA's mental condition: MA appeared joyful at me, almost to the point of getting lost in her own mind. I inquired about her thoughts, and she passionately describes this home as her dream house, wanting to paint and furnish it just to her liking. It seems MA thinks a lot about the future of her and her children. However, MA also comes across as absentminded, forgetful, and discarding of issues. There are several long-standing problems, such as non-working hot water and lack of food in the kitchen, as the children pointed out in front of me. She seemed to respond with hesitation, looking away and avoiding the question. When I handed her important documents, such as various obligations to report to the office of Social Support Agency and various bills I found in the mailbox, she referred to taking care of them later. This behavior is similar to last meeting, and things appear to have kept being unsolved. Reminding her of the lack of progress, she promises to improve. However, this is still a great improvement from a few weeks ago, directly after moving, where MA described feeling "low" and unable to finish basic tasks without help from the children. The unbalanced mood is in line with typical behavior from her diagnosis, and while I have no reason to believe it is a permanent improvement, it seems that continued support is helpful for her to get over troublesome periods of her life. LA's mental condition: LA seemed cheerful, as always, She was energetically running around and pointing various things out (such as the hot water), jumping on chairs and tables, and seemed to enjoy physical activity. LA did not appear underfed or neglected in any way, and her mental condition seemed stable and relatively happy, playful, and carefree. However, LA did refuse to answer some of my questions, but this is similar to the behavior at previous meetings. Her mother or brother answered in the cases she didn't. NA's mental condition: NA seemed particularly shy and close, almost constantly holding the hand of either his mother or his sister, unless he was tasked to do something, such as fetching the cookies from the fridge, which he did without hesitation. NA was able to answer my questions with a smile but tended to look towards his mother before answering, thinking for a few seconds. The behavior seemed the same as when the mother was absent from the room. NA did not appear underfed or neglected, and seemed generally pleased with how things are going. Summary: MA seemed content with the current living situation, although, also forgetful. Both NA and LA seemed very pleased with the living situation, even with the messy home and the unfixed issues. Everyone seemed to miss the father/husband a little bit, but moreso preoccupied with the new home. My judgement of the Ava family is that it's currently in a stable condition, with a positive and hopeful running mood from moving in to the house, and are able to continually take care of themselves in this home. My recommendation is thus to continue weekly visits and to then, depending on the stability, taper off to monthly visits. Aliana Krass.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t | \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
