September is almost over, but not without the annual Chili's St Jude night. I've been meaning to post about it, but it snuck up on me. Eat at any Chili's anytime tomorrow (Monday), and they will donate 100% profits to St Jude. We will be at the one near Oak Court Mall around 5:00. Hopefully, we'll see some of you there!
Josiah is doing pretty well. He's having some digestive issues and is still pretty tired. His endocrine appointment is in three weeks. In two weeks he starts an intensive constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) with his OT. Basically, his right arm will be in a cast type restraint 24/7 for three weeks. This will force his brain to make new neural pathways and encourage his left arm to play a bigger role in his life :). It's used a lot with stroke patients. We are so excited about this developmentally, but it is going to be very frustrating for all of us at first. He will have to relearn how to eat and carry toys with his left hand.
Also this October:
We will, Godwilling, be closing on our first house!! We are overwhelmed with the generosity of so many friends and family members making this possible.
Pray for researchers, doctors, nurses at St Jude.
Pray Josiah will adjust quickly to the CIMT cast.
Pray for wisdom for us as spouses and parents.
Congratulations on the house!!!! Is that Josiah in the gas stations dressed as a pumpkin? What a cutie! Has he seen the multiples of himself yet? After watching the last video you posted I can't help but wonder what his reaction was or will be.
ReplyDeleteThe house news is great! I'm long overdue in sending you mail. When the time comes, I will have to get the new address so I can fix all that. Love you guys & praying for you--- Stacey
