Update 17 August

Today saw the first of a few appointments we believe with the Neuro Psychologist.  This was a very helpful day today as she immediately picked up on a lot of what was going on with Rebekah including spotting the things that we usually spot ourselves and most folk never realise has actually happened.  Over the next few weeks Rebekah will have two hour appointments with her while she tests her working memory functions.  As  has always been the case Rebekah's long term memory is good but a lot of the time her short term memory is  awful and at times it is not dissimilar symptoms to Alzheimer's.  As she enters Primary 4 next week it is important that she is given the best possible chance of achieving and maintaining her learning and therefore the work that is done here will hopefully result in the right support being provided for her going forward.

We want to thank you all for your prayers, to say this has been a tough few years now is a bit of an understatement with all the ups and downs and we give thanks that believe in a God who loves us and cares for us and supports us through these days.  We often think of the words found in Isaiah 40 v 31. They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength and will mount on wings like eagles, they shall walk and not faint.  We have been trying to do this as we are weary and we know that God will carry us through in the days and weeks that lie ahead.
