Thank you for praying for Gideon and for our family. I have been filled with an amazing sense of peace and have had a great week spending time with the kids, friends and Keith’s family.
It was concluded at the meeting yesterday that we do need to further evaluate what is going on with Gideon. It has been recommended that Gideon be seen at the OU Child Study Center in Oklahoma City. However, the Child Study Center has a very long waiting list for appointments. We must first apply and then wait to see when they could see Gideon…which will be sometime in the next 2 to 6 months!
I know God is in control and if He is asking us to wait, then, of course, we will wait! I would love to have Gideon evaluated as soon as possible, so that I can focus my attention and energy on a solution and not just worrying!
This will obviously delay our return to Russia. Once again, we find ourselves at the feet of Jesus not knowing what to do. Our schedule is full through July, but beyond that we are not sure where we will be living. I think we have exhausted our time as guests in every spare room between New Mexico and Oklahoma!!!
Once again, I ask you to join us in prayer for Gideon’s health and development, our family and all the logistical issues that go along with this delay. Please pray that we would be able to get an appointment at the Child Study Center in the Lord’s time and that we would be able to wait patiently until then. Please pray that we would know how to spend our time, until then and where…and that the where would include a bed!!!
It has also been recommended that we pursue Speech Language Therapy, while we wait for the appointment at the Child Study Center. Once again, we have no idea where to begin looking, but please pray that we find a therapist’s whose strengths would match perfectly with Gideon’s needs.
We love and appreciate you!!! I have become somewhat of a recluse ☺, so please accept my apology for not being responsive!!! I pray that you will continue to write!!! I need lots of encouragement…always!!!
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.
Hebrews 3:13
