Football Friday

Day 18

Today was another good day. We had biscuits and gravy for breakfast and then we were on our way to the Havens for therapy. Today it was my turn to lead the feeding class. Throughout the week each member takes a turn leading the activities during a therapy session, so today it was my turn. Today was also the last day for my group to participate in feeding class. Next week we will be back working on language with other groups of children. The morning sessions went well. I got to work with Heath today. He is still doing well, making slow progress. This morning I also got a chance to work with Leo, but he did not crawl for me as he did yesterday to Shannon. Leo did just get up from a nap though before our session started so he was very lethargic throughout the session.

After our morning sessions we headed back for lunch. Today we had the famous apple cake. It was very good! Unfortunately Tessa was sick today and feeling nauseous, so she didn’t get to try it, but for dinner I convinced her to try a bite. The afternoon feeding class went well. Most of our babies were asleep by the end of the session. They were all worn out. After our last feeding class I went to Haven 3 as always and worked with Heath again. He is such a happy floppy baby; I can’t help but work with him. We worked hard and had a lot of fun.

After therapy today we had dinner and then went to the soccer field to play Frisbee, but after awhile of hanging out, Mike and Meshack came with a soccer ball so we played some soccer. It was a lot of fun to play and hang out with them. They are really nice guys and they enjoy interacting with us. After playing soccer we headed back to the Hamby house. I found Tessa sick on the couch watching Pirates of the Caribbean, so Ashley, Anna, and I watched the rest of it with her until we ran out of power on the computer. The power went out again tonight. This is three nights in a row the power has gone out. I usually don’t mind. We always have a game to play or people to talk to. For the rest of the night we just visited until we got tired and headed off to bed.

 Please continue to pray for our group, especially our health. Today we had two sick, Tessa and Dr. Weaver.

Thank you for all of your support.
