Bit of an update

We have had a real struggle the last few weeks with PND. Claire is now back home and a lot more together. We have been very fortunate that my mother has been able to take time off work and support us.

Larissa is growing really well and is sleeping well at night. Today we had a hearing test on her which was positive and the audiologist says we have no worries. This is quite a relief.

Katya has been pressing forward in leaps and bounds. She has really enjoyed having her cousin who is a similar age staying. She has said no and is understanding a lot of what we are saying. We have had one processor adjusted in our last trip. We are not sure whether the adjustment is ok... she has been a bit inclined to remove the adjusted processor. We are making an effort to encourage her to adjust to it as we know it will be very close to being right.

The house is coming together. The top is all but finished with some flooring to come in over the next few weeks. Downstairs still needs a bit of painting.

I think our trials, which are still ongoing, are growing us. One day I would like to know why all this PND etc hit us. I do know it has made us more aware of the challenges that face many people in our society with mental illness. We are grateful we can wrestle these challenges in God's strength and rest in Him when we are overwhelmed.
