Little Lamb

This kid is having a tough time recently...he geared himself up for today, went in well...but 45 minutes later school called to say he'd got tummy pains and was very anxious. They'd tried relaxation and breathing techniques but nothing was working, so off we went to go pick him up. I'm really hoping and praying that these next few days away will break this cycle. He seemed fine when he was with us again, but I've no doubt he was in pain, though anxiety related rather than a bug. SO, yet again, the day looked different. He's been anxious tonight pre bed, which has also been something each evening this week....but is now almost asleep and ok. 
The guys were over for team dinner, though a small group as the summer volunteers are all back home now. 

Today I'm grateful for;
1) School being so caring and doing their best to work with Nate, ie; the breathing and relaxation.
2) The joy of learning Catalan. Really loving learning this new-to-me language.
3) Seeing Stephen and Gemma tonight.
