The week in review:
Sunday: It was a great day and I wish I had my camera at church! It was the first time since the accident that all the Bennett's and Stickel's were able to worship together. Even Granddaddy joined them!
Tuesday: Brittany began school at Lathrop. She is taking 2 classes, math and Honors Art. She also continued her Occupational and Speech Therapy in the Outpatient setting. Erika also had her last homebound speech therapy and tutoring session.
Friday (Erika): The big news is Erika is cast free! She will need crutches for the next month, but is full weight bearing on both legs. She is ultra-excited! She will be starting school on Monday, beginning with math, lunch, and recess. (She's got the important stuff in!) Please pray for a smooth transition.
Friday (Brittany): Brittany got the final medical clearance she needs to be able to participate on the Lathrop Rifle Team. Because she is not taking a full case load, she needs a waiver to compete. Please pray she gets this waiver. Competing has been her goal since they took the ventilator out.
Saturday (today): Granddaddy and Grandma Jo left this morning to go back home in Juneau.Their departure was bittersweet. They were appreciated by many for the help, emotional support, and love they were able to provide while they were here, but it's good thing that Don and Jennifer feel like they can function as a family, again.
Saturday (Brianna): Brianna played in her first competitive soccer game this morning. (Yes, it's indoor soccer.) The team didn't win, but it is a milestone. It was her first game since the accident.
Jennifer is glad to be home, (this is the longest she's been home since before the accident,) but is a bit overwhelmed with the amount of decisions and tasks that come with having children with a variety of "new" needs. She is glad she has the daily challenges because it means life at the "Looney Bin #1" is working on the return to normal (whatever that is/was!).
He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalms 91:4
