Snowmeggedon, Snowpocalypse, & Setbacks

For the love. The past six weeks have been nothing short of stinkin' rough. I really didn't realize how long it had been until my mom got to see one of Handsome's meltdowns that have been happening between 1 and 3 times DAILY. Apparently, I had not told her about it because, as I told her, its just our normal life and what we have to work through and past. We're in a valley of the rollercoaster ride.

School and therapy has drastically been reduced because of the winter weather these past few weeks. I'd say we've had roughly half the amount of therapy and a quarter less of school. I had hoped we would've bounced back by now.

I am reaching out for your prayers, y'all. We are going to increase our therapy a bit for at least the next few weeks.

Here's what you can pray:
1) for Handsome's brain to be more flexible. His OCD tendencies are really at an all time high right now, I really can't adequately express how disruptive and exhausting this is for our entire family.

2) for extra stength for Sweetheart and I

3) wisdom - oh Father, we need wisdom

4) For understanding from Ladybelle - she's really starting to pick up on Handsome's different behavior and is going through that awesome testing stage herself. (Schmoopy, is cool but tried to have a stomach virus this week. He was happy none-the-less.)

5) consistency on how we implement what we learn in therapy

Thank you for loving us, lifting us up, treasuring us, carrying us. We are so blessed.
