Quick Update:

Owen finally caught the bug the rest of us have been passing around this week.  (being snowed in probably didn't help things.)  So he's been going down hill since Saturday and is down and out today with a fever and headache, very sleepy.  

I know.  I know.  Sounds like the shunt.  However, I am very certain it is the virus the rest of my kids and Eric had this week. (I could only wish Owen's shunt failure symptoms would be so obvious.)

So this means I had to call and move his surgery and appointments for tomorrow at Riley.  After much phone tag they are rescheduled for  NEXT Tuesday.

A bit frustrated with that blizzard right now, because this could all have been behind us.  Trusting in HIS timing.

Also, I am very anxious to get moving on new braces.  He is starting to get more red marks and even a bruise where his left foot is turning.  HIS timing.

A few prayer requests:

• for Owen and the rest of the family to feel better.  Owen is pretty miserable today.
• that he'll be healthy for eye surgery by next Tuesday.
• clarity and wisdom for the doctors next week in discerning between signs of shunt failure and the cold

and
• wisdom for Eric and I as we look in to preschool options for next year.  I won't go into the deboggle it has become, but it is far more complicated and frustrating than I would like.
• Please pray we will find the right preschool situation for Owen to have the things he needs to be ready for kindergarten the following year.  And wisdom in how to balance that with the needs of the whole family.

okay, one more
• wisdom in finding the right outside therapies to help Owen reach his potential and ,once again, how to balance that with the needs of the family.

Thanks,

Jen
