He is Risen! He is Alive!
Happy Easter!
We felt the earthquake all the way from Baja California. A 7.2! It was rolling quite a bit. Even in Huntington Beach as we celebrated McDonald's with family at Easter, it was rather unsettling. We still enjoyed a nice day praising our Lord for saving us.
Jesus did not come for the righteous; he came for the sinners.
Praise the Lord.
This is our PRAYER, our HOPE, and our DREAM - to be a resource for special needs and adopted children and their families, especially those with unique and complex challenges, to make a difference in the life of a child, and in our journey to glorify JESUS. Every child has a story, and Every child matters.

Wheelchair Brings Mobility!
Today was a day of small and big victories and praise reports. Today, we also found out that the ramps, manual wheelchair, and electric wheelchair for Michael have been authorized and approved. He weights 75 pounds. When he can't walk, giving him piggyback rides gets tiring rather quickly. Praise the Lord - we are awaiting an estimated delivery date!
For Michael, a wheelchair brings mobility and more independence!
We are praying for a wheelchair van that would fit all of us.
Praise the Lord!

No fractures!
March and April have been rittled with seizures for Michael for the most part. Michael was fortunate, we found out today, to avoid fracturing his spine in a traumatic sprain / strain injury at the park where he fell hard on his bottom and back first off a slide and then a fall withinin the same week in the bathroom due to an atonic seizure (loss of all muscle tone) causing him to crumple and hit his head twice, once on the sink, once on the tub. This was the first full body atonic seizure he's had, although he has had other partial atonic seizures before now, limited to just his head. We are fortunate to have a visit scheduled this week with an pediatric epilepsy specialist. His back (a soft tissue injury) from both injuries, according to the orthopedist, could take up to 4 to 6 weeks to heal.
Praise the Lord - no fractures!

Birthday Surprises!
Scott had his birthday today. We celebrated at a new Bob's Big Boy today through the kindness of friends. Going was a surprise for Scott, and he enjoyed it quite a bit. It was a lot of fun, especially since we had never gone. Scott was gifted by an original yoda drawing by Michael, which was most special among his other gifts. It was a special birthday dinner indeed. Bob's Big Boy brings back fond memories.
