Abby update - February 11

We had a good Sunday today, but I think we're all tired. After church Gordon, Abby, and I enjoyed watching a local (in New Braunfels) production of The Sound of Music featuring our own pastor's wife. Abby seemed to really enjoy it and was singing along.

Several things today, however, made me feel like Abby must be feeling weary. Her posture today was really stooped, and, although she usually can stand up straighter when I remind her, today she just expressed frustration that she was standing up as straight as she could. She also expressed a lot of frustration when she was working on some "homework" assignments from her teacher and speech therapist. Although she did the work correctly, she had tears in her eyes, and, when I asked her what was wrong, she said "That work was just too confusing." It breaks my heart that I can't fully understand everything that she's feeling and that I can't fix what I understand. Please just pray for her not to feel too weary or discouraged...I keep reminding myself that the road to recovery is long for us, but it's also long for her too...

Thanks for continuing to read and pray for the long haul...
Love,
Abby & family
