Praise the Lord! Sam has had two wonderful days in a row! He has gone to school and laughed and giggled most of the last two days. We are so thankful when he has a good day that it almost makes us forget about all of the challenging ones. Please pray that Sam continues to feel well and that his sleep habits improve so we can all catch up on our rest.
Today I attended a caregivers conference which was a bit helpful, but mostly applied to individuals who were caring for a spouse or aging parent. I was the youngest person in attendance and the only person with a child who has special needs. During the afternoon session the speaker opened it up to people to share their challenges in finding ways to care for themselves. I managed to stump the expert on caregiving with our situation! Go figure! Sam has defied all the odds thus far and continues to challenge those around him. The verdict is still out on coming up with a way to find time for ourselves! Our Motto: ONE DAY AT A TIME AND SOMETIMES ONE HOUR AT A TIME! Oh, and thank the Lord for humor!!!!
