Progress being made.

I wrote a couple of weeks ago and wanted to write again to say that, while we are still mountain climbing, the mountain does not seem so steep or the climb so hard. We are doing much better for a number of reasons. One is that Steven himself is doing better. They have adjusted his meds., started him on one for bipolar, and our new counselor is very good. She makes is talk about our feelings, which isn't easy for Steven. He gets very agitated talking about the things he is angry about, but he needs to get it out so he doesn't explode. Our homeschooling is doing fine. He is actually very good about doing his work for me. Sometimes I need to remind him to go slowly, read the directions, and BE NEAT! But that's perfectly normal for a boy his age. We have decided to homeschool next year and although at first I dreaded it, I am beginning to order stuff and get excited. I did it once, I can do it again! I think a lot of the reason we are doing better is because I am handling it better. Nice how it always seems up to "Mom" to set the mood. But when I settle down and realize that this is the best way to handle our problems then it all seems to come together. I would continue to ask for your prayers as we continue our journey. Pray for Steven that he can work through his problems and grow stronger through them. Pray for Baileigh that she will come to understand her brother's problems, and come to terms with her own anger issues. And pray for Davey and I that we can continue to support and love them. Thanks.
