If You Can't Say Something Nice...

I haven't updated this week because I feel like I don't have a whole lot of nice things to say.

Don't worry! Nothing horrible has happened, but few things have gone as planned. For some reason that surprised me this week.

Monday and Tuesday went ok with CIMT starting. Josiah does not enjoy the cast, but he is already gaining new skills and new strength in Left Arm. He is still enjoying going to therapy, but requires a couple breaks in the three hour sessions. Well, Friday I did walk in on him trying to run away from this therapists, but he was really exhausted that day and he only had 30 minutes left anyway.

Wednesday we found out Allison had the hand, foot and mouth virus so Thursday I stayed home with her and Stephen took Josiah to SJ. Friday she got some great-Grandma time and I went to SJ with J. Today Stephen has what Allison had, and Josiah and I have a sinus infection. And I have runner's knee so no de-stress running for me. Stephen is still hard at work with Granddad at the house every night. Whew.

I hope you've stopped reading by now to go do something productive.

Thankful for clorox wipes and Josiah's therapists of indomitable spirit.

Thankful he is already building new neural pathways to teach Left Hand new tricks. :)

Thankful BelleBelle is going home, but it's going to take some explaining for Josiah to understand he won't see her every week. :(

Pray for our health(s).

Pray for a renewed spirit and heart for Stephen and me. This is the perfect storm for miscommunications and frustration to pick us apart.

Pray for Arianna and Brody still on treatment.

Meg and Brandi, can't wait to see you next week! Hope we're well enough to give you a hug.
