He is still not using very many words and is very frustrated with life in general. Time change sent him for a tailspin. We are still recovering from that. We still can't really put our finger on why he is so upset these days. We're continually adapting and making changes to try to understand and help him. It has been challenging. We've heard a lot of screaming lately. Really life is just becoming routine with things as they are. I fix all of his meals in divided containers three days at a time. Then, we can just grab the next container out when it's mealtime. That has helped a little to alleviate the craziness to each day. He is eating and drinking well. But it seems when we leave one thing behind we pick up another. So, when he hated eating, he played well. Now that he likes eating, he doesn't want to play. Who knows? My husband and I say that a lot these days. Who knows?
Please pray for Philip. Pray for our family. We need wisdom and guidance and ask God for it daily. But I think now I'm just asking for His grace to take each day as it comes. It doesn't seem now that we will see complete reversals or amazing developments but we have been called upon to be faithful to the job God has entrusted to us. He doesn't ask us to do more than we are able to do through Him. Praise His Name we have Him to enable us. There are days when I don't find the joy in it just like most of you have days when you don't find the joy in driving through traffic to work or doing the dishes or all the other tasks of life we face. There are other days when the Lord shows me He is the Joy of life. Thank you, Lord, for those days!
