Sadly it is confirmed.........

We took Antonio to a psychiatrist today and our worst fears were confirmed...We already knew Antonio suffered from epilepsy and suspected he had some other problems, but had hoped we could find solutions. The doctor told us Antonio has an "epileptic personality" meaning he is a clinger and if you've ever been around him you know this is true. She told us he is wetting the bed out of fear that he will be abandoned again. She also says that he is ADD and severely retarded...and that it will never get any better and in fact it will get worse as he ages!

Please pray for Antonio; he needs an act of God! We all know many cases where man's diagnosis' have been reversed by God and that's what we need here. We have searched and searched for solutions but on this earth there appears to be none. The other problem, of course, is that without a cure Antonio will need life-long care and obviously Joyce & I won't be around to provide that.

She did suggest we move him back to a normal school so they can attempt to teach him to read and that, too, is a blessing & a cursing....a blessing because he will no longer have to travel across town daily and a cursing in that we don't have a vehicle to carry all the children to one school. We need the 'seed' money in our vehicle fund to take root and flourish!

On a more positive note...the kids have had a blast outside tonight. I was able to get more in-line skates and ripstik while in the states at a consignment shop for next to nothing. All of the kids are learning, falling, getting back up only to fall again, but they love every minute of it!

Thanks for all you do for them and for us......................
