Hello Selina

So my last post...

kind of a bummer...

But isnt it funny the way God works. We were recommended to two therapists for PT for Toby. One was recommended by two seperate individuals. We were also told that we would wait, plan on waiting, waiting a long time. Maybe not even plan on getting in ever.

But isnt it funny that God knows things that we didnt even know or understand at the time.

I called the first one. The one highly recommended. The one recommended by two different people. The receptionist let me know there was a 30 person waiting list for this therapist and I might as well look else where. Well, I asked to be number 31 and then asked for Selina (thats her name) to call me.

After many many more calls. And wanting to bang my head up against a wall from all these touchy feeling, love yourself and dont ever push the child therapists I got a phone call.

It was Selina.
Funny I thought.. Courtesy call. That's nice. Then she shocked me.

"I have permission from my boss to move you to the top of the list"

Fantastic I thought..now maybe only 1 or two months.

NOPE!! Try next Thursday. Isnt that crazy???!!!

So, here I go again worry worry worry about things that God had totally planned out and totally in control.

I wish I could just learn that little lesson...but chances are I'll be back on here...worry worry worry.

On a totally different note...

Toby had a VCUG and ultrasound done this past Thursday. They didnt find good things. His Kidney refulx is back and with the number 3 (not good) Now they are talking surgery, tethered cord and all kinds of stuff id rather not think about. They moved up our july appointment to next week. They want to do a full exam see nuero and everyone. This stuff is just plain scary. I HATE kidney stuff.

But,...okay...not going to worry worry worry

LOok how quick I forgot my lesson!! : )

Seriously though please be in prayer for us this next week. We have a hearing with SSI over a few thousand dollars they are pretty sure we owe them and these doctor's appointments.

Sorry to be lengthy. I could have written about 4 more paragraphs!!

I am also a worrier, and just can't seem to help myself!

But even with all the worring, things always turn out exactly as they should.Sometimes I wonder what would happen if we invested as much time in faith as we do in worrying...wouldn't things turn out so much better?

I am really happy for you that Toby is getting the best therapist...it's a weight off your shoulders!

Wow, where do I begin. Your posts are so touching and I have a lot of emotions going though my head as I read them. Even though I am not experiencing your life and it's trials and tribulations, your impassioned thoughts seep through your words right to my heart. I think all mom’s have this urgency to protect their baby’s from anything that can possibly hurt them whatsoever, be it a minor playground injury all the way to hurt feelings. I sometimes wish I could cocoon my kids in my arms forever and shelter them from the world. I think their spirits are the hardest things to witness being crushed. All kids will experience it, whether it be about their ears, nose, size or clothes, there will be people that will find something hurtful to say about it. I try telling myself that childhood tribulations will make them stronger adults, but that doesn’t make it any easier to experience. As parents all we can do is try to balance the “bad” with better and teach our kids that God does not make mistakes ...we are all made exactly how he wants us to be. We have to show our kids that life is not always rosy, but we can handle anything God puts in our lives through his strength.
I am excited for you about the therapy session today! Let me know how it goes :)

Wanting you to see both sides of the coin

So the last couple posts have been pretty incredible. And I am thankful. But I also want to be honest and want you to have a glimpse of both sides of the coin. Tonight was a great night. We spent time with great friends and had some wonderful conversations. However, Tonight had its sadness also. Tonight, Toby realized something or at least he voiced it for the first time. There was a baby at our house that had just turned one. He was walking around like a champ. Super cute. Toby realized the difference. At first it was just a quick sentence. "The baby is standing." and then throughout the night it progressed. "The baby is walking." And then a little more. "The baby is walking without a walker." My heart is genuinely heavy tonight. Its hard to say all around sad, because it was a good night. But just heavy. After Toby thought these things through he said, "I am going to walk without my walker." And then he tried. Needless to say it didnt quite wor...

a moment of triumph

Im having a rough day. One of those nothing goes quite according to plan cause ive been at appointments with Toby. Trying to homeschool, now juggle 6 therapy sessions a week and any other extra appointments are taking a toll on my emotional and mental stability.!! So instead of sharing all my woes with you and sitting and feeling very very sorry for myself. I'm going to share a happy moment. I hope that people from my church family will especially enjoy this. Since our Pastor has been doing the "kids choir" every Sunday morning Ive enjoyed and not enjoyed it. Of course I love seeing all the kids up there and I love watching Gracie so proudly march up there to sing and all of my friends kids. But there was always someone missing. And that someone sat right next to me, (well sometimes, sometimes he prefered the smyer family) : ) Toby would never go up. The first time he tried he started making it that way and I honestly saw the shock of stairs and kids running hit him. It ...

Toby with those arm crutches

Wednesday night we had our first teen meeting of the school year at church. We started off with praying for each other. THe girls and the guys split off. I ask all the girls to pray for Toby as he keep working on his arm crutches. (he hates them) So we sat there I heard all those girls pray specifcally for Toby. AMAZING!! The next day I sure had some fire under my tail to get him working even harder. And thats's the day it happened. I left his walker in the car (which I used to do when he first go it because I hated using it so much) we finally had a break though. We even took them to a store today and outside!! He's doing really well... And dont even try to tell me it wasnt because of having that prayer time!! ps I told Toby about all the ten girls praying for his arm crutches. All day he said, "really?" "For real?" and then he woudl say " tell me the story again how they prayed for me."
