Busy Day...

Well, today was therapy day and boy were we busy little bees! Both the boys had doctor appts this morning and then on to therapy we went. It's always a challenge having both the boys together on such a day as this. Kowen LOVES going to Hunter's therapy appts because he gets to play with all of the neat toys they have. (His personal favorite is the inner tube swing). The problem is corraling him so he doesn't get in other patients way while observing what the therapists are showing me regarding Hunter. It is a juggling act that can only be accomplished with much patience and a soft voice...praise God he gave me both today! We actually had a really good time together and had no major mishaps. Prescriptions were filled, X-rays scheduled and letters to the school obtained. All in all, I'd say it was a pretty darn good day!

Our OT, Ms. Marty, was very impressed with the shoulder movement she saw from Hunter today. He is lifting it higher than he has ever done before. (Thanks to those shiny earrings mom wears that he just can't help but reach up and grab!) Our PT, Ms. Jennifer, was able to get our wiggle worm still long enough to see the elevation of his right hip and instruct us in some exercises we can do at home to strengthen his back muscles and hopefully correct that problem in the near future. We talked a bit more about the Tethered Cord and she assured me that if he has it she believes it to be a mild case. Only the X-Rays, which are scheduled for next Thursday, will tell us where we need to go next with treatment. Keep on praying and I will update you on that next week! I'll be posting todays therapy pics in a new blog in just a few minutes!

As we were driving around today I was listening to one of my favorite CD's by Selah. Most of you know that I love to sing and tend to find comfort in worship and letting the words speak to my soul. We all have that one song on a CD that we ALWAYS skip over. It's either annoying or boring or something. Well, today I actually listened to that song. Normally I laugh b/c it's an old song that reminds me of the 80's when we went to church out in California. I can't help but see the little old ladies singing to that song while clapping their sweet little hands and swaying to the music. I, on the other hand, am sitting there thinking about how dorky they sound and can't understand why anyone could NOT laugh at the cookyness of it...lol. But today, I realized that it was really a neat song...and kudos to Selah for making it sound a bit more trendy :)

So, here goes...another song that's touched my heart. It's on Selah's "Hiding Place" Album if you ever want to take a step back to the good ol' days!

I've had many tears and sorrows
I've had questions for tomorrow
There've been times I didn't know right from wrong
But in every situation
God gave blessed consolation
That my trials only come to make me strong

I've been a lot of places
And I've seen so many faces
But there've been times I've felt so all alone
But in that lonely hour
In that precious, lonely hour
Jesus let me know I was His own

Through it all
Through it all
I've learned to trust in Jesus
I've learned to trust in God
Through it all
Through it all
I've learned to depend upon His Word

So I thank God for the mountains
And I thank Him for the valleys
I thank Him for the storms He's brought me through
Cause if I never had a problem
I wouldn't know that He could solve them
I wouldn't know what faith in His Word could do

Through it all
Through it all
I've learned to trust in Jesus
I've learned to trust in God
Through it all
Through it all
I've learned to depend upon His Word
Yes, I've learned to depend upon His Word
I've learned to depend upon His Word
