I can’t believe it has been almost a month already since the
last post. Things have been a little crazy but so good. Cargan has a tight heal cord and walks up on
his toe or I can say now he did!! We have been traveling to CHOP every week to
have a new cast put on for the past 5 weeks to stretch his heal cord so he can
walk flat on his foot. He has been such a trooper but by cast 4 he was trying
to get the doctor to tell him how many more! 2 weeks ago he said this was the
last one. Cargan let out a huge YAY!!! The doctor put a temporary cast on until
his brace comes in 4 weeks (ugh). Two more weeks to go!! We are very excited
for Cargan. We have always tried to help him understand we love him just as he
is. He is such a precious gift from God. He is so proud and excited that he can walk
flat. The smile on his face is
priceless. He is doing so well.
What next!
I had been asking for prayer about what to do for occupational
and physical therapy. All the pediatric places had long waiting lists (6-8
months!). Well God put every piece
together. I started Cargan at Good Shepherd for OT and the wonderful secretary
there suggested I try calling again at the pediatric unit in Allentown . I had been praying for weeks that
the Lord would lead us to the right place. Well, I called to see where we were
on the waiting list. It had only been 4 months so far. She asked if he is in school. I said we have a flexible
schedule with homeschooling and she said she could get us in right away!! This
was right when we needed it with Cargan’s casting. I have been praying we would
get some clarity on our situation as we have not gotten a clear picture from
our doctor. We went to the first PT evaluation yesterday and WOW! Our PT
therapist was outstanding. She gave me more information in 2 hours than we had
gotten in months and picked up on needs that no one else had mentioned. Cargan love it there. It is like a huge play
area and he also gets to do some aqua therapy. He is so excited!! Please pray
for us as we adjust again to a new schedule going to appointments and try to
keep balance with our other two precious children, homeschooling and the home front.
We are so thankful for God’s leading. He is such an amazing God. I had been
really struggling with so much running, all the changes, and frustrations with
dealing with 3 locations for his casting. I have spent so many hours trying to
get answers. Satan was really hammering me and I was getting down. I then read a blog from another adoptive mom
just sharing the beauty of parenting all children and how God calls us as
Christian’s to the hard. You can read more here http://www.nogreaterjoymom.com/2013/09/the-truth-about-my-life-adoption-and.html?spref=fb
It
really helped me refocus on all the blessing I have in my hard days. What a
privilege to be called to the Hard. What an amazing God that He is always right
there with us through it all.
This is another beautiful post about being called.
