Life With Spica
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 9:38 PM
I keep waiting for the day when I will begin to think deeply again, when my mind won’t focus all its energies on Henry and this cast and dealing with both.
So far, that’s not happening.
I’m aware of the outside world of course—I’m keeping up with current events and watching plenty of movies (of the 1960s Disney cartoon variety anyway). It’s enough of a hodgepodge to keep me trucking, but not quite enough to add anything too deep to the mix around here. I don’t want to just talk about the spica cast, but that’s pretty much what occupies my thoughts.
Things are going well, it’s just that the days are centered on getting through Henry having a body cast. It isn’t all overwhelming or terrible, just really, really different. This isn’t the easiest situation, of course, but I am amazed at how we have adapted to this (short) season. I didn’t think I had it in me to lug around my 22-month-old who is bound from chest to ankle. But I’m doing it, and it’s going pretty well, all things considered.
I hope the rest of the free world is doing well! Thank you all for your prayers, and especially for your words of encouragement. I have enjoyed hearing from those of you who have been in a similar situation with your children (or siblings)—your stories give me perspective and hope.
