Patience tested

I continue to try and focus on the positive. This week has been hard because Morgan has really tried my patience. I have never really thought of myself as a patient person, but God is making me into one. However, my patience ran very thin this week. I prayed for God to help me with my schedule so that I was more efficient and had time for everything and everyone. In the afternoons, starting at 3:30, I am by myself with the kids until Billy gets home, which is often after 6. Balancing Will's homework, with making Morgans breakfast and lunch for school the next day, while Morgan climbs on the tables, got the best of me this week. Some of the solutions The Lord led me to: take Morgan outside to run and jump right when we first get home, for her to get attention and get that input she needs first. Then, sit down with Will for homework while Morgan is in the stroller, right there with me where I can watch her. Then, wait until Billy gets home to fix all Morgans meals for the next day ( she is on a special diet and I send all her meals to school). I am working on getting this all together and being at peace without having to get it all done first thing when I get home. The supervisor nurse was here yesterday and I told her that Morgan had been more agitated lately, along with her ever so crazy hyperactivity. She thought Morgan was either having sinus pressure or a headache from allergies, the weather, etc. So I gave her some Tylenol and it really seemed to help. She has not been agitated today, and seems a little calmer, but still climbing everywhere. The doc called in some oxytocin supplement to try for calming, so we started that this week. Also, have a call in to Dr.Clark to see about further reducing the seizure meds, as we feel this is contributing some to the hyperactivity. Thanks for the prayers. We will need them as we spend the next three days at home, most likely cooped up in the house with the rain. But oh so thankful for the hope of rain.
