A little extra prayer for Nathanael…

A few things have conspired to give Nathanael a difficult week.  Late last week he got a slight cold, which shouldn’t be a problem in itself.  But it seems these slight things sometimes have a major impact on his overall health, whether because of his medication or something else related.

So he ended up being very worn down.  He enjoyed going to a kids’ club for a few days, but with the time change it meant we ran him hard all morning, and then tried to sit him down to eat when he normally would be having a nap.

All these things conspiring against us, he’s been having a rough time and so have we.  So do pray that we will be wise with his schedule, knowing when and how to give him the rest he needs; wise with activities and discipline and meal times and all those things; and that he will be feeling better soon.

If the tiredness drags on, we may need to check on his medication and make sure everything is in balance.  That could be tricky while we’re on the road, but I’m sure we can find a way.

Other than that, we are all well (even Nathanael did have a good time for the most part at the kids’ club – he was the freshest first thing in the morning) and as I write we’re on the highway somewhere in Saskatchewan driving east.  We’ve been enjoying time with the abuelos (grandparents) here in Saskatchewan before finishing our drive to Ontario next week.

I hope to post more details about our time in Ontario soon so that those of you in the area will have an idea where we’ll be when.  Look for that over the next few days (Lord willing)!  🙂
