A Boring Post with lots of "ologists"...

Wow.  I have not been a very good blogger lately.  At all.  We have been trying to get used to a new normal, and I am trying to adjust to making my "to do" list much smaller.
We had our appointment at the Spina Bifida Clinic, and it was so helpful...and overwhelming.  The neurologist was awesome!  We will have an appointment with him sometime this summer for a brain and spinal cord MRI (or CT scan or whatever it is) for them to determine...um, something to do with the nerves - ha...obviously, I am on information over-load.  The pediatric orthopedist was also awesome, and Landon will see him in September for a pre-op visit and then in October, he will have surgery to turn his foot and to repair some little details of his foot...they will break the tibia and turn the foot a little more outward, which should help so much in his walking.  We will go in late summer to see the pediatric urologist for a urodynamics test to determine how well their bladders are functioning, and we will have visits along the way just to make sure that we are training and growing as we should. :-)
You know, when we began this adoption process, I had NO idea how complicated Spina Bifida can be.  But, you know what?  The Lord knew, and He also knew that I needed to be slightly ignorant to fully obey Him.  I am afraid if I knew all the details, I would have thought, "There is NO way that I/we can do that."  And, I would have been right.  I/We can't do this.  HE has to do it.  I have learned through trial by fire that I cannot make it through ONE day without a quiet time, and without relying completely on Him for everything that day.  I can't imagine missing out on these blessings because of my fears of being incapable and insufficient - especially when He constantly reminds us in His Word that HE is sufficient - always.  These boys are awesome - difficult sometimes, but awesome! :-)
I promise that I will have pictures after this weekend because little CJ has his 2nd birthday on Monday, and we will celebrate on Sunday! :-)  Hope you guys all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
