Struggling

We sure would appreciate your prayers! The kids are really struggling. (Especially Ato T and Miss I.) We had originally expected to be starting home today or Monday, and we have just found out that our paperwork was lost and hasn't even left MS yet. It still has to go through Utah and then MN before we can go home. Ato T has extra seizures when he is stressed, and his stress is definitely showing. Miss I is not sleeping well at all. And I am reaching my emotional stress limit. We knew going into this that things could change, I guess we just didn't expect to be adding an entire week onto our trip. We didn't expect it emotionally or financially.

The original plan was for Miss S to be induced Monday, consents to be signed 24 hours after birth (Tuesday), and clearance to happen 7-10 business days after consents were signed. What ACTUALLY happened is that Little Miss was born on Tuesday, and it was decided to wait for 72 hours to have consents signed, instead of 24 hours. Then we found out today that MS lost our papers until today, and won't get them signed until Monday. After that, they still have to go to Utah and then on to MN before we can go home. So realistically, we're looking at at least one more week here.

Ato T and Miss O have now missed 6 therapy sessions each, and Ato T has not been in his stander for 2 weeks, which is not good for his hips. He will also be running out of his seizure meds. soon, and he was supposed to have his blood levels checked this coming week, to make sure the dose of meds. he is on is safe for him. Little Miss also needs to see our pediatrician.

So, we would really appreciate your prayers! We know that God is using this time for our good, and that He will also work out the finances for us. It's just pretty tough in the midst of the action. We also know that soon this will all be distant memories for us. We'd just like to get home as soon as possible so we can get our kids' needs attended to.
