So much to report! :) This could take a while:
This is the first time I've been to the computer in a while. Ryan has been sick (sinus infection), and so he could only help a little with Morgan and not at all with Athan. Unfortunately, Athan was also constipated and had some reflux last night, and Morgan woke and 3 times between midnight and 4 a.m. There wasn't a lot of sleeping here last night! :) But I got a nap this morning, Morgan got a nap this afternoon, and Athan has slept better. Ryan saw Dr. Coburn and got some meds going. He seems to feel better this afternoon.
We also saw Athan's physical therapist for the first time today. She just did the initial evaluation, and we won't have the actual score for a few days. Her name is Lauri, and her husband is also at the seminary to get his MDiv like Ryan. She understands the challenges facing seminary families, as well as the special needs Athan will have. In just a few minutes, she taught us some things that will help Athan strengthen his muscles and increase his muscle tone - especially his head control. So now we have some new exercises to work into his routine.
Tomorrow we're back at UK all day - to see endo, neuro, and repeat his EEG. Thursday we see Dr. Coburn, and we'll be asking about his belly button (not quite healed yet), reflux, and constipation. Next Monday we'll meet with a rep from VIPS to see if Athan needs therapy to work on his vision, too. We'll keep you updated on how the appointments are going.
Would you pray for me to find new times and ways to rest (even if it means leaving the dishes for a while)? I just want to be rested enough to parent well. Thanks! :)
