On Hold

The master's stump still has not healed to the point where he can be fitted for a prostheses--and instead of weeks behind schedule, it looks as though we might be months away. There is one small spot at the side of his stump that will not stop bleeding, and until it does, we are stuck. We have days of discouragement and frustration, but things are becoming more bearable. I definitely don't have any less to do, so it must be everyone's prayers. I'm getting used to the pace and sleeplessness, but I wouldn't say I'm a particularly fun person to be around at present. And just let me find out that you are praying for patience for me!!! I will hunt you down. I don't want patience, I want a prostheses.
We've spoken with our agency and told them to not show our book to any birthmothers until they get the go ahead from us. At this point, I wouldn't even be able to take time out of my week to drive to Houston and pick up a newborn, much less parent one! Though perhaps my current level of sleep deprivation is the Lord's way of preparing me for night time feedings?

Praying for a faster healing then you are expecting. Hope you're able to get some sleep.

I will keep praying, both for healing and for sleep. I think of you often.
