Alisha Update

Tomorrow will mark 3 weeks to the day Alisha was hit in the head with the Soccer Ball. It marks the day she lost control of what her body does. It marks the last time she went to bed and actually remembered her whole day without parts of it being marked out because her mind was playing tricks on her! There are allot of scary things that have happened and to be honest when I think about what could be is even scarier! I try to keep focused on today, but making sure I am not sitting by letting time go by without doing anything! Thankfully I have big sisters that are keeping me on track! Today we started down the road of Counseling. The thought of trying to dig something that I never knew happened is a little scary. I would like to believe I know my daughter and that there has never been anything that she hasn't told me! :) I have always firmly believed in the freedom of having a clear conscience and have talked regularly about this with the kids. So the thought of my kids living with something that is not dealt with is sad, yet with all my heart I want to get to the bottom of this.  Today was the first time Alisha showed any emotion about all that has been going on. It was sad to see her cry, but so good to see that part of her that we have not seen for 3 weeks.
What are we learning and being reminded:
1. God is working all things out for the good of those that Love Him and are called according to his purpose! (Abby Lynn says "well, what is it?" I say, "That is a good question:)"
2. We will not allow pride (in our parenting, in our family, our kids, in our way we think is right) to keep us from getting the help our daughter might need. (while I felt like this was really extreme, I was reminded, "There is wisdom in a multitude of Counselors.")
3. I am daily reminded of how much we are loved! (Jeremy is glad we have an unlimited amount of phone time, because I am getting calls left and right) Our family has made it clear that weather it be rides to the Dr. from Grandpa, help from grandma with the kids, or Sisters to come and take care of the house, or brothers come and help at the shop, there is nothing that we cannot get if we need it! Our Christian brothers and Sisters from SDBC, has sent over numerous cards and gifts showing how much they care are praying for our Family. Our Church Family has provided meals for the past 3 weeks, they have spent hours with us at the Dr. and are calling on us daily to see how they can serve our family!
Thank you for your continued prayers! God is good, all the time!!
