The current status is that he will continue to shadow into next week when Mrs Babb comes back. Since he'll have had a few days to acclimate, we're hopeful that when she does an official assessment at that time, it will be a much better gauge of his ability.
Also, we have an appointment at the MUSC foster care clinic tomorrow morning to get to know them and discuss his medication and history, which should be very interesting.
We still have not heard anything from his actual DSS caseworker (all of our information is from his Bair caseworker), but hope to get more history from her as well...eventually.
Every day is a little easier, but two strong-willed, six year old, only children is quite an experience. God has truly been granting me with a peace and patience that I've never known...until about 6:45 in the evening. Thankfully Jason takes the lead for the last bit of the day and bedtime.
Equally exciting, I slept all the way to 5:20 this morning -- two hours later than Tuesday and an hour later than yesterday! C has slept in until we've woken him up, but my mind has been racing from the wee hours every morning, and I think Charlie's may have, too. He's been up soon after 6:00 each morning and has come out to sit with me on the couch while I read my Bible. I'm not sure if it's anxiety or just a desire for some one on one time, but am hopeful that it's the second.
To add excitement to an otherwise uneventful day (who wants one of those this week!), George managed to scratch his eye fairly seriously. Thanks to my mom who was able to meet me at the vet this morning before work and then pick up his prescription, he's on pain medicine and an antibiotic of some sort. I guess we needed a bit of drama in our waiting...
"But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint."
(Isaiah 40:31)
