Randomness....

BATH SEAT:

We were blessed with a great bath seat for Karter. The Fullerton's gave us a seat that their son had grown out of. Because Karter is unable to sit on his own, it has proved to be a bit of a challenge when trying to bath him. Because he is so long, he does not fit in a baby tub so we have been lying him on his back in the big tub. Needless to say you can't put much water in the tub and he really does not enjoy his bath so much as he gets cold really easy.

I took a few shots of the seat and him in it and included them here.




SOME FUN:

Karter and I had some fun taking pictures the other day. Karter is now 18 months old. (my how time flies) and I thought it would be nice to capture him as he is today. So here are a few shots of that.





AN ANSWER TO PRAYER:
As I had mentioned in the previous post, we were looking for someone to come in and do some intensive therapy with Karter throughout the week. Therapy in addition to what we try to get to on a daily basis. Since the last post, some really neat things have happened. First off, our Physiotherapist agreed to see Karter 2x per week until the end of February (at which time she we re-evaluate if it will continue or not). Secondly, the physiotherapist mentioned that they had "physio aids" at the Centre for Child Development (right by the hospital). She said if I was willing to bring Karter there, the aid would be able to work with Karter during the week as well (the aid needs to be supervised by a trained therapist at all times). So right there that gives Karter the possibility of receiving therapy three times per week. In addition to all of that, I have a colleague who I had worked with formerly in Delta that has volunteered to come and carry out Karter's therapy on Friday's. This is something she has felt in her heart that she would like to do as a ministry basis, without pay. Needless to say, we are overwhelmed. So not only have things quickly fallen into place with his therapy schedule but also the stress of finding the money to cover the therapy has thus far been relieved as all the service are funded for. We are still looking into funding for the future however, this has bought us a bit of time to be able to get the paperwork completed.

AMEN!

We just know that God is going to care for Karter and all of his needs are going to be met somehow. I like the middle black and white picture really nice shot of Karter. Bless you today Diane
