Last weekend, Matthew's preschool sang at church. We were so proud of how well he did. I'm not sure he sang the words quite right, but had the motions perfect. One of the songs had the word "shout" in it and I think Matthew shouted the loudest of any of the kids singing - lol!
Also last weekend, we spent some time with a family who is in the process of adopting a little one from Sevastopol. We love sharing about our journey (although they know it well) and being able to offer a little support and encouragement to them was such a blessing to us!
I was all set on Friday to post that we were happily anticipating a few weeks' break between doctor's appointments when Maia spiked a temp. Her old shunt incision site didn't look great so we took her in to the clinic where the NP checked her urine which seemed ok, but contacted the covering neurosurgeon (Dr. W is away) because of her recent surgery. We were sent to the ED and spent the afternoon there. The neurosurgeon didn't seem too concerned about the incision, although they did complete some skull x-rays and sent us home with antibiotics for a possible UTI. UGH! Poor girl gets diarrhea from the antibiotics which makes recurrent UTIs more likely. We're still trying to sort things out, but Maia is not back to her usual self after the surgery. Perhaps it is just because she's still healing... don't want to create problems where there are none, but don't want to miss a problem either. If you would keep her in your prayers, we would appreciate it.
The weather has been absolutely crazy... 78 degrees in March??? We've spent most of this weekend at the park.
Maia's favorite thing at the park is swinging, I think she would be happy for hours. Although this afternoon, she was happier cuddling on my lap (totally out of character for her).
Matthew loves climbing.
Pretty amazing considering our little guy was terrified of heights last summer!
That's definitely not all that's going on (although there's nothing too exciting) and I hope to get more posted in a few days. Somehow, time just gets away from me.
I love all the pictures!! Cute cute cute!! I hope Maria feels better soon! I'll send out prayers! You might try giving probiotic (the good bacteria) to her when she is on antibiotics. That should help with the diarrhea. Our boys are always on antibiotics and the Dr tells us to do the probiotics. You can get chewable kinds. But don't give at the same time as the antibiotic. Hope she feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the catch-up post! :-) We all need to do those every now and then... Looks like Matthew is doing great. Praying for Maia's recovery too. How fun you know a local family going back to the same city! Yay!
