Preparing for school

We had a meeting with Sarah’s school today. It went very well. The spirit of cooperation gave me a sense of peace in my concern about Sarah returning to school. I just can’t believe how much the school system is willing to do for Sarah. Although her educational path may differ at times from the rest of the class, she should be able to keep moving on if she works hard. Everyone at her school has just been great in helping us through this transition.

I forgot to post the link to the news video of her homecoming (not because they interviewed me), so here it is. I think I held it together ok.

Back to Church

We all went to church this morning. The first time as a family in quite a while. It felt good to be in church again. Sarah’s Sunday School class was happy to see her, and she received a lot of hugs and kisses from everyone. When she got home I told her that she smelled like about twenty different perfumes. Pastor Rolen had a good sermon today about how impatience can lead you down the wrong path. I know I get caught up in wanting Sarah to recover 100% in a few weeks instead of the long term it will take to even get her back to 90%. I wanted to get a picture of Sarah sitting in church today, but I forgot our camera. I am such a slacker.

The physical therapist that she had while she was in the hospital told me that eventually she will be able to jog a bit, but never fully run like she would have to in order to get back into sports or other physical activities. I am not buying into that. I know God can heal her and she will be able to play sports again. It may not be until junior high or high school, but she will be able to “run jump and play” again.

I have to go now, Logan just ran in to tell me that the reason Kim is yelling for me is that Miley just spilt the water bowl all over the kitchen. She is not the brightest dog yet.
