A Difficult Mother’s Day

Well, we did our best to make Mother’s Day special for Carol - Barbara was particularly sweet with the little crafts that she worked hard on and took a lot of pride in. Despite the beautiful weather and loving gestures, this was probably the most difficult holiday to celebrate to date (certainly for Carol) since Chase’s diagnosis. It’s just getting extremely hard to enjoy anything on the home front while faced with Chase’s condition. Although he remains pretty stable and this has been a blessing in terms of reduced stress, it’s still extremely wearing physically, mentally and emotionally to see him unresponsive.

We’re doing our best to keep the faith and believe that God has a plan of victory for us – whether we can recognize it at this point or not. Nevertheless, it’s incredibly challenging at the moment. We need divine intervention and guidance to continue our journey through this challenge. Chase’s seventh birthday is coming up on May 23rd – we could really use something to celebrate in terms of clear progress with his recovery or a strong indication of God’s will for our family.

We truly appreciate all the ongoing prayers and support.

God Bless!!
