Well… it’s been almost 2 months since my last post. I can’t even pretend that I’m doing a good job at keeping up with this anymore. Those 2 months have been a whirlwind of activity, so I will try to give you the highlights and hopefully not leave anything out…
- Olivia completed her first semester at NCCU. She worked really hard and maintained all A’s in her classes. She enjoyed a couple weeks off- painting, working on Lego projects, catching up on TV shows- before starting her summer classes. She has 4 classes this summer, but only 2 of them have begun so far.
- Olivia has had several doctor appointments over the last 2 months for various things… she is feeling rather doctored-out. She has some cavities and a couple of wisdom teeth that need to be taken care of this summer. Please pray for those appointments and the recovery process for her afterward.
- Olivia has decided to be super independent recently, and we continue to be thankful for her growing strength and abilities. She has decided that we will be working hard on adding more exercises to our routine this summer and continue pushing her independence. 😊
- Going to the beach at the end of the school year was a tradition for us before Olivia’s accident. Last summer, Olivia decided that she was ready to try the beach again, so we searched and found an accessible place to stay. Tonight, exactly 2 years and 7 months since Olivia’s accident, she went out on the beach, felt the wind on her face, heard the waves crashing on the beach, took a selfie with me, and searched for seashells. 🏖️
Some items for prayer:
- Please pray for Olivia’s upcoming dental appointments. Pray for peace for her and quick healing and recovery.
- Bella (Olivia’s silent defender) has been losing weight for a while. We had some tests done and discovered that she has a large mass on her liver. The mass is displacing her stomach, so she has been struggling to eat. Due to her age, we decided not to put her through any surgeries, so we are treating her for quality of life. Please pray for us as we spoil her and enjoy however many more days God gives us with her.
Thank you for your prayers and support 💕💕💕
