Prayers, please

Some days it seems like Ricky won't speak in sentences for years, if ever. Today is one of those days. The ASL is such a blessing (Thank you, Signing Time!), but he still only signs one or two words at a time. Otherwise, he is doing very well.

Stas will have tubes put in his ears sometime next month. He may be able to hear after the procedure, but there is still a chance that it will not improve much. It's funny how this all works. You welcome someone into your family, knowing that they will have special needs. You don't know how significant those needs will be, but you happily welcome them into your life. How, then are these things (Ricky's trouble talking, Stas's lack of hearing) so disappointing?
