Definitely a day of mixed blessings! After a visit to the orthopedic surgeon,  Erika has to wear the cast on her left foot for another three weeks.  She is able to take the splint off of her right leg a lot more now, though.  She can also bear weight on the broken leg when doing transfers.  That's good news. :) She also began her tutoring today.  She was given homework. :(

Brittany was not accepted to the inpatient program we had hoped she'd go to.  That's good news in that she is getting better and it was deemed not "medically necessary" but bad news in that the insurance company believes she can receive appropriate therapy here in Fairbanks.  The good news for Brittany is she will probably be going home tomorrow.  Don and Jennifer will need to make some decisions regarding follow up care and whether to pursue some outpatient therapy out of state.

Please pray for continued healing.  Also pray for wisdom, patience, and understanding for the entire Bennett family as they will be all together again.  They are together, but things will be different and that will create some difficulties.  Also pray God will open up the doors to the next phase of treatment for the girls.

Psalm 17:6

New International Version (NIV)

 ⁶ I call on you, my God, for you will answer me;
   turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
