Our next few months

Ryan and I were talking last night and looking at what lies ahead for the Strebeck family, especially in the next few months. I think it was our way of mentally digging in for another stretch. We pretty much stay in "survive the crisis" mode for a while. Athan really needs to stay healthy until heart surgery, which means lots of stay-at-home time for at least one of his parents. The other will be making sure Morgan doesn't have too much stay-at-home time. :) Then we have the heart cath, surgery, and recovery. We'll be revamping his First Steps plan (that's the program through which he gets physical therapy), maybe adding occupational therapy as well. He will see a urologist per recommendation of his geneticist, as well as having a vision and hearing test. We'll have to keep up his regular visits with his endocrinologist and pediatrician.

And school starts tomorrow.

We're happy to do it, and we want to do it well. I write to ask, again, for your prayers. This year has been a tough one, and the next may not be smooth sailing, exactly. Right now, I'm just asking the Lord for the energy to do what needs to be done, and to do it with deep love.
