just a quick update to say thanks for supportive prayers.  mike is actually really enjoying his time at justin and megan’s and specifically commented on their niceness, availability and attention.  he is reveling.  so the frustration evaporated quickly.  we are trying to get another new caregiver into place this week and we are praying for minimal glitches since we have had bad luck with some others.  i am letting justin and megan troubleshoot obstacles until all caregivers are up and running smoothly and then we will transfer mike and the successful support system back home.  maybe it will all go well and that will be in a week or we will see if our best laid plans need more work.  meanwhile the kids and i visit a bit, brought mike to a movie last week and are trying for balance.  it has been a busy and overwhelming week even without mike’s care.  maybe this week will feel more like a break.  the kids have been fine overall but mckaela specifically misses mike when falling asleep at night and senses his absence from the house.  God has been shielding us from anything but keep praying for our whole family’s protection please.  thanks, michelle
